== Automotive Shredded Residue and the Environment == The Automotive Shredded Residue (ASR) market is inextricably linked with environmental concerns due to the nature of the waste and the potential for recycling. ASR, often referred to as "fluff," incorporates a mix of materials left over from the shredding of end-of-life vehicles. This mixture typically contains plastics, glass, rubber, and metals that are not recovered in the initial shredding process. Environmental considerations play a pivotal role as the treatment and disposal of ASR pose challenges, with landfilling being less favorable due to the potential release of hazardous substances and landfill space conservation efforts. Consequently, there is an increasing focus on developing sustainable and economically viable technology to recycle and recover valuable materials from ASR. These advancements aim to minimize the environmental footprint by reducing waste, decreasing reliance on sourcing raw materials, and mitigating the potential for ground and water pollution.
