Argonne has a Recycling Pilot Plant designed to save the non-metal portions of junked cars. Here, program managers demonstrate how plastic shredder residue can be recycled. (Currently these automotive leftovers are sent to landfills.)

For more information, visit Argonne's Transportation Technology R&D Center Web site at http://www.transportation.anl.gov.

  • That looks nice!

    What's the processing power of this thing? Seems to be low, like 1T/hour... Taking that it's 25% of vehicle mass it's like processing ASR from 3 to 4 cars in an hour (in case it's 1tonne/hour).

    Why separation is made by hand? Simple machine with some cutting blades would work just fine.

  • This is a really cool thing for Argonne to be doing. Great job on the pilot team/plan.
