Optimum management of mineral raw materials

The thermal treatment of municipal solid waste generates energy and reduces waste volumes. The remaining incinerator bottom ash (IBA) from Waste-to-Energy plants is processed by classifying the mineral fraction, and separating ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as unburnt impurities. After processing, the municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash aggregate can be utilised as secondary construction material. The main areas of application for GRANOVA are road construction, earthworks and landfill construction. In the Netherlands, GRANOVA is also being utilised in concrete products. more 

When new landfill capacities are required, the question of implementation arises. One possibility is the pp.landfill model as a cooperation model between public and private partners. We also refer to the model as 'pre-paid landfill' because, as a private partner, we provide the financial investments. REMEX assumes the costs and long-term financial risk associated with the construction, operation, decommissioning and aftercare of a landfill site – and in return markets a contractually regulated landfill volume. The PP-LANDFILL model is an effective way to avoid landfill deficiencies while at the same time supporting municipal independence. The municipality remains the responsible landfill operator and can continue to dispose of its own waste, thus ensuring sufficient landfill capacity and stable fees. more
