Progress for the circular economy
The potential of mineral recycling is still greatly underestimated in the discussions about closing material cycles. Recycling mineral waste offers significant leverage for a transition to a more sustainable economy, both nationally and internationally. To support the implementation of the circular economy targets, we are working continuously on the development and introduction of new recycling technologies.
Outstanding recycling technologies for incinerator bottom ash
According to ecoprog statistics, around 2,800 Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plants are in operation worldwide, treating approximately 576 million tonnes of waste every year. After incineration, 25% of waste remains in the form of incinerator bottom ash (IBA). Innovative recycling approaches can make a significant contribution to the recovery of the mineral and metallic resources contained in the residue. more
