Waste incineration plants

From waste to recyclable material

Waste incineration plants play an important role in waste management by thermally treating non-recyclable waste and generating energy.

This involves a variety of waste types, including household waste, commercial waste, organic waste, paper, plastics and organic waste. During the recycling process in the plant, organic material is produced that cannot be incinerated and therefore remains as residue (slag). By separating and treating these organic residues in the waste stream, waste incineration plants can achieve positive effects on the environment by using a composting plant. The organic materials are biodegraded through the composting process and converted into high-quality compost.

Advantages of composting over waste incineration

  1. Recycling of organic materials

    In waste incineration plants, organic residues remain after the incineration process that cannot be incinerated. These residues may contain organic materials such as food waste, garden waste and other biodegradable materials that are suitable for composting. By separating and treating these organic residues, waste incineration plants can provide valuable raw materials for composting.
     

  2. Reducing the amount of landfill

    By extracting organic materials from the waste stream and using them for composting, waste-to-energy plants help reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. This reduces the need for landfill space and minimises the environmental impact of landfilling organic waste, including the emission of greenhouse gases such as methane.
     
  3. Improving the quality of compost

    The organic residues from waste incineration plants can help to improve the quality of the compost produced. These residues can contain a variety of organic materials that can improve the nutrient content and structure of the compost. By adding organic residues from waste incineration plants, the compost quality can be optimised and the efficiency of the composting process increased.
     
  4. Diversifying raw material sources

    Utilising organic residues from waste incineration plants as a raw material for composting makes it possible to reduce dependence on other sources of organic material. This can help to improve the sustainability of composting and diversify the availability of raw materials for compost production.
     
  5. Synergy effects

    By integrating waste incineration plants and composting plants, synergy effects can be used to maximise resource efficiency and environmental protection. For example, the organic residues from waste incineration plants can be used as a substrate for composting, while the thermal energy generated from incineration can be utilised to support the composting processes.
