Sustainable Recovery Solutions for Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR)
Smart Resources Recycling specialises in the recycling and beneficial reuse of Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR), commonly known as Car Frag. Generated during the processing of End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs), car frag consists of a complex mixture of plastics, rubber, foam, textiles, glass, and other non-metallic materials that remain after metals have been separated for recycling.
Working alongside industry-leading processing partners, we help transform these residual materials into valuable resources, reducing reliance on landfill and supporting a more sustainable circular economy. Through advanced sorting, separation, and recovery technologies, significant quantities of reusable materials can be extracted and reintroduced into industrial applications, while non-recyclable fractions can be converted into alternative fuels for energy-intensive industries.
Our solutions provide environmentally responsible and commercially viable pathways for automotive waste streams, helping recyclers, manufacturers, and waste management companies improve recovery rates, reduce disposal costs, and lower their environmental footprint.

Alternative Fuel Production
The high calorific value of materials such as plastics, rubber, and textiles makes Car Frag an ideal feedstock for alternative fuels. Processed material can be utilised in:
- Cement kilns
- Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facilities
- Industrial furnaces
- Energy-intensive manufacturing operations
This helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels while supporting industrial decarbonisation goals.
