Domestic Waste

Domestic waste mainly includes household garbage, market and commercial waste, public place waste, street cleaning waste, and waste from enterprises and institutions. Domestic 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 domestic waste is thermal utilisation in a waste incineration plant. The heat released is used both to generate electricity and to provide heat.
