Sustainable evaluation procedure for residual commingled waste after recycling, factoring in the percentage content of solid components

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The management of residual municipal waste after recycling is becoming an increasingly problematic procedure, while the challenges related to this process are multi-dimensional and encompass environmental, economic and social factors. As per the recommendations of the European Union, it is more beneficial for the residual fraction to undergo disposal via waste-to-energy conversion in specialist incineration plants and monitored low-power boilers than by landfilling. Such a process not only limits the negative impact on the environment that is characteristic of landfilling, but also makes it possible to obtain additional electric and thermal energy.
