What Does ASR Stand For?
ASR stands for Automobile Shredder Residue
ASR, or Automobile Shredder Residue, refers to the residual material generated during the shredding and recycling process of end-of-life vehicles. This byproduct typically consists of a mix of non-metallic materials such as plastics, rubber, textiles, and glass, along with small quantities of metals and other substances. ASR poses environmental challenges due to its complex composition, necessitating effective management and processing strategies to recover valuable resources and reduce landfill impact.
