Materials

Straw

Grain straw is used in biogas plants. The material is also used in the form of straw pellets for alternative heat generation. Straw is the primary material used in the production of bioethanol.

Domestic waste

Residual waste is optimally handled by shredding it in mechanical-biological waste treatment plants (MBT) and separating the various recyclable materials from each other. Another use of residual waste is thermal utilisation in a waste incineration plant. The heat released is used both to generate electricity and to provide heat.

Domestic waste

Typical residual waste from households offers little potential for material recycling. However, in the cement industry, the high-calorific fractions from the waste can be used as an alternative fuel. RDF manufacturers filter out these fractions by shredding and separating them.

Coconut shells

Briquettes made from coconut shells burn longer than wood and can be used in crop-growing countries to replace wood from life-sustaining forests. The material is also suitable for use as a fuel in biomass plants and boiler plants. The fibres in coconut shells have excellent insulating properties and are used to this end.

Lightweight packaging

Increasing the recycling rate of packaging with the aim of recycling more valuable materials than before is a key issue in the circular economy. In order to efficiently recycle the packaging collected in bags, this waste must be continuously and reliably sorted.

Bulky waste

Largely homogeneous RDFs with good combustion and low pollutant properties can be produced, even from bulky waste.

Grasses

Some grasses, such as miscanthus and switchgrass, are called biomass grasses because of the large amounts of biogas they can produce.

Bulky waste

Bulky waste chiefly includes discarded furniture, mattresses, wallpaper remnants and old carpets. Nowadays, most bulky waste can be recycled for materials and energy.

Industrial waste

The non-recyclable materials from waste generated in industry and commerce can be processed into RDFs and used in power plants or the cement industry.

Residual forest wood

Residual forest wood is often the raw material for mulch, but it is also used as animal feed. In addition, it is used as fuel in biomass CHP plants (combined heat & power plants).

Industrial waste

Commercial municipal waste (also abbreviated to commercial waste) is municipal waste from sources other than private households, in particular commercial and industrial waste as well as waste from private and public institutions. This waste is similar to waste from private households due to its nature or composition and must be disposed of in the same way.

However, commercial municipal waste also includes other production-specific waste from other sources, such as workshop waste, cleaning rags containing mineral oil, paint buckets or non-infectious waste, leather waste, metal waste, including shavings from metalworking and metal processing.

Waste paper industry

Both the cement industry and brick manufacturers increasingly rely on RDFs for their production. Waste from paper production can be used as an alternative fuel.

Bark

Bark can be thermally recycled as fuel and further processed into bark mulch or bark litter.

Wood chips

Wood chips are used in the manufacture of chipboard and medium-density fibre (MDF) boards. They are also used as fuel in heating plants, in combined heat and power plants and in gardening and landscaping.

Used tyres

Rubber is a versatile material due to its properties. The best known and largest product in terms of volume is the tyre. In addition to thermal recycling as substitute fuel, for example in cement plants, used tyres can also be recycled, e.g. the granulate obtained can be used for a wide variety of floor coverings.

Green waste

Green waste is used as co-substrates for soil improvement and is increasingly incinerated for energy in biogas plants. Coarser fractions of wood can also be made into mulch.

Rubber and rubber residues

Natural rubber is the basis of all rubber products and is a valuable natural raw material, so the aim here is to achieve the highest possible recycling rate through material recovery. However, the parts that cannot be further processed can still be used as an adequate fuel in cement production.

Wood and milling chips

Planing and milling chips are usually reground and then used as insulation material or, for example, in the production of pellets.

Sorting residues

In sorting plants for light packaging (LVP), the packaging items pass through various packaging items pass through various stations, at each of which a specific fraction of the material is sorted out of the material flow. Pressed into bales, the individual material fractions are then sent for recycling. Waste designation Sorting residues: Sorting residues from facilities for sorting lightweight packaging, so-called DSD sorting residues. These can be processed into alternative fuels in substitute fuel processing plants.

Waste wood, used wood

Wood waste or even old pallets can be used as a renewable raw material for energy production. Effective processing is essential to produce a waste-based RDF.

Biomass

Residual materials are chiefly used as solid biogenic fuels – in other words, biomass that is hardly suitable for purposes other than incineration. For example, these materials include forest and industrial residual wood, waste wood, garden and park waste and straw.
