Which process is carried out?
-
Specialised company
A specialised company separates the valuable materials. Other waste receives a final treatment and this depends on the type of material.
-
Incinerator
Controlled combustion is carried out at the incinerator and all residues are removed. Gasses are filtered before they are released into the atmosphere. Slags are taken to the landfill.
What does it become?
-
Electricity
Heat generated from the combustion of sawdust turns some turbines and this generates electricity.
