4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "excellent answer - "frag" is a more precise translation (though it is not a translation actually), it wouldn't be as understood as it doesn't appear to be so commonly used. Thanks to everyone for all the comments, and help. "

foaming trash

It is based on the fact that the Swedish word "Fragga"= foam and I gues it has something to do with "Fragga"
Peer comment(s):
disagree Mårten Sandberg : No such word. I assume you mean "fradga" which is the most resemblant but would be extremely far fetched, since fradga is what e.g. thirsty camels or angry dogs have around the mouth.

fragmented scrap

I belive that "fragg" comes from "fragment"?

Take a look at the link below: "Världens nordligaste fragmenteringsanläggning för återvinning av metall och elskrot."

I hope, it will help you.

Good luck!
