: Municipal solid waste (MSW)

No residential waste (household waste, bulky waste and industrial waste similar to household waste) must not be landfi lled without any treatment.

To recycle all recoverable and marketable material contained in this, advanced technology must be used for sorting.

In all overseas countries more and more sorting plants are installed instead of mass-destroying incineration plants for separating recoverable materials, metals, waste paper, plastics etc. by screens, magnetic separators, windsifters, NIR separators, ballistic separators etc. to ensure ecologically and economically useful recycling.

A pre-treatment of municipal solid waste is mandatory and an increasing trend abroad.
