Waste Derived Fuel

Refuse derived fuel is created from fractions of the waste stream with a high energy content; typically paper, plastics, textiles and wood etc.

Mixed waste is separated using screens and mechanical processes, to remove glass and metals for recycling, the biodegradable content and RDF.

RDF can be used for EfW, thermal treatment or in an existing industrial process. RDF can often be used in conjunction with other fuels in a process known as co-combustion, such as exists in cement kilns where worn tyres may be used.
