RDF primary material
Valuable substitute
Description
As a rule, RDF primary material is waste that consists largely of film plastics and whose quality is no longer sufficient for re-use. These plastics are then further processed into a high-quality substitute combustible for conventional fossil fuels such as coal and heating oil.
Origin
Non-recyclable residues from the separation of light packaging, production residues from industry, light fraction from the sorting of commercial waste
Recycling
The primary material is processed into a substitute fuel and used in co-firing in coal-fired power plants and cement production.
