Abstract
There are 182 auto shredder processors in the United States and 249 in the world with a capacity of 16.3 Tg [1]. When shredding automobiles and obsolete appliances (white goods) an average of 254 Mg of ferrous and nonferrous metals and shredder residue are generated per shredder per eight hour production shift. There were no markets for the 3.4 Tg shredder “fluff” (non-metallic, light material) produced which is traditionally deposited in landfills. This paper describes two possible markets for this heterogeneous material: a possible boiler fuel and a cover material for landfills.
