The study case is a mechanical treatment plant processing about 89,000 t/y of municipal solid waste.
The different outputs were sampled, analyzed and classified according to the SRF standard.
All the output streams resulted classified as SRF of course with different qualities and codes.
Potentially 35,600–53,400 t/y of residues may be diverted from landfilling.
Potential recovery of primary energy contained in the waste may be increased by 48–123%.
