Resin recovery method

A method for recovering a resin from a salvage vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

• dismantling the salvage vehicle to obtain a salvage vehicle shell;
• shredding the salvage vehicle shell to obtain a first shredder dust;
• air sorting the first shredder dust to obtain a first low-specific-gravity dust and a first high-specific-gravity dust which has a higher specific gravity than the first low-specific-gravity dust;
• and
• wet gravitational sorting the first high-specific-gravity dust,
• wherein interior components containing fiber are removed upon dismantling the salvage vehicle,
• the method further comprising steps of:
• shredding the interior components to obtain a second shredder dust;
• and
• air sorting the second shredder dust to obtain a second low-specific-gravity dust and a second high-specific-gravity dust which has a higher specific gravity than the second low-specific-gravity dust,
• wherein an airflow upon the air sorting of the second shredder dust is greater than an airflow upon the air sorting of the first shredder dust.
