The shredding of decommissioned vehicles (also known as End-of-Life Vehicles or ELVs) produces Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR), a mixture of ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, glass, fibre (including foam and fabric), rubber, plastics and dirt[1]. Following the removal of the metal this material is often also called Frag Waste (due the way the material is fragmented into smaller pieces in the shredding process) and Fluff (due to the high proportion of foam and fabrics).
