Incineration as Element of Recycling Processes

The primary goal of waste treatment plants is not the recycling, but to improve the envi-ronmental impact of the secondary raw materials. They can also become recognized by-products with multiple application possibilities.

The aim of all activities is environmental protection. Recycling is not an objective, recycling is, among others, an instrument of environmental protection. All available processing techniques can be used in different combinations for waste recyclingprocesses. Ideally the quality and quantity of the process input and the desired process Output determine the type of combinations and their order. Only with mechanical processes mixed municipalwaste cannot be recycled. Only materials, which are the actually recovered portion of the process inputs, can be described as 'recycled'. The indication of the whole input of waste into a recycling process as 'recycled' waste is misleading. It gives the impression of success, which is not actually achieved. This error occurs in official statistics of waste management and leads to the misunderstanding, that in Germany the aim of maximum waste recovery was already achieved.
