Scrap is a resource in Astroneer that can be traded in to obtain other resources.
Source
Scrap may be obtained by placing most player-made items, or any wreckage marked Debris into a 
Medium Shredder, Large Shredder or Extra Large Shredder.
Each item shredded will yield different amounts of scrap, and any partially complete stack of scrap will remain in the Shredder until enough scrap has been collected to create an entire nugget of scrap. One full nugget is comprised of 50 Cones. When a nugget of Scrap is complete, it will be stored on the same vehicle or platform as the shredder, assuming that there is enough storage space for it. If there is not any storage for the shredder, the Shredder will stop operating until the scrap has been removed.
Scrap may be easily obtained through the use of the 
Soil Centrifuge. Gathering enough 
Soil to turn into 
Clay, the player may smelt it into 
Ceramic and craft 
Drill Mod 1, which may then be shredded into Scrap. Doing this method will yield 3 Scrap for 2 canisters of Soil.
Currently the most return on value for scrap from soil is the 
Winch. You can purchase 4 
Wolframite for 6 Scrap and smelt it into 
Tungsten, then use 1 Soil to make 4 
Resin and 1 Soil to make 4 
Organic, convert these into 4 
Rubber, then create 4 Winch and shred them. This will give you 10 Scrap which is a net profit of 4 Scrap and the input was 2 Soil, more Scrap per Soil than the Drill Mod 1 mentioned above, but consumes more power and more time.

Uses
Scrap is the currency resource, used with the 
Trade Platform, to obtain other resources. The ratio of scrap to resource varies on the rarity of the resource being traded for.
Alternatively, Scrap may also be researched for 275 Bytes at the 
Research Chamber.
Notes
- Vehicles and Extra Large items (Except
Shelter) can be blown up using Dynamite to receive debris small enough to fit into one of the three shredders. - Dynamite, Fireworks, Resources, Item Plinths, Leveling Block and Terrain Anchor are not shreddable.
Trivia
- Before the release of the Extra Large Shredder, many of the larger broken objects were marked as Detritus. This was due to the size limitations for items accepted by the largest shredder at the time, the Large Shredder. Now, many of these objects are shreddable, and have been reclassified and marked as Debris rather than Detritus.
- Before Patch 1.9.8, Platforms are not shreddable.
