An Evaluation of Shredder Waste Treatments in Denmark
Alternative Methods to Landfilling Auto Shredding Residue in Compliance with the Strict Environmental Quota by the European Union.
This report, prepared for RenoSam and the shredder companies of Denmark, identified and researched alternative treatments of shredder residue, resulting primarily from the shredding of end-of-life vehicles, in order to help Denmark to meet strict European Union recycling targets that will be implemented in 2015. Danish shredder companies are also motivated to reduce the amount of landfilled waste due to a two-phase tax increase system to be implemented in 2012 and 2015. Through extensive literature research, interviews with Danish shredder companies and landfills, and analyses of the collected information, the team investigated the implementation of alternative shredder waste processing methods.
