Abstract

A method for recovering resin from a salvage vehicle is provided that includes 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 first low-specific-gravity dust and first high-specific-gravity dust which is higher specific gravity than the first low-specific-gravity dust; and wet gravitational sorting the first high-specific-gravity dust, in which interior components containing fiber are removed upon dismantling the salvage vehicle, and further including steps of shredding the interior components to obtain second shredder dust; and air sorting the second shredder dust to obtain second low-specific-gravity dust and second high-specific-gravity dust which is higher specific gravity than the second low-specific-gravity dust.
