Clean Sources

Source separation of organic residues from households and gardens is a success story of most European countries, thereby helping to meet recycling and climate change targets and market requirements.

Various separate collection systems (by bins or bags) have shown their effectiveness when it comes to quality and costs.

Best practices in the treatment of the organic residues by composting for anaerobic digestion combined with quality management systems, help to
meet standards and fulfil market needs.

High quality composts and digestates find markets and close the organic loop successfull

Residual Waste

Despite all source
separation efforts, the residual waste stream still contains degradable organic residues.

Mechanical-biological treatment MBT is devised to increase the caloriifc value
of materials suitable for energy recovery and reduces fermentabilty of residues to be landfilled.

After the stabilisation step, the residuals are suitable for landfilling in line with the EU Landfill Directive.
