Recovering the non-recyclable: the Integrated Resource-Recovery Facility
Complementary to waste prevention, re-use and recycling, Waste-to-Energy is currently the most sustainable solution to treat non-recyclable waste. As waste generation continues to increase in Europe and globally, the sector is working on achieving its full potential. Below, we present ESWET’s vision for the future of the Waste-to-Energy.
Recovering the non-recyclable: the Integrated Resource-Recovery Facility
The IRF represents a new model of plant and a step-change evolution in waste thermal treatment. Thanks to state-of-the-art European engineering, new and refurbished plants can now implement innovative technologies and, for instance, produce hydrogen or synthetic fuels, or capture their CO2 emissions. With those additions, the IRF can fully reach the decarbonisation potential of residual waste treatment, and closes the loop of the circular economy.
