The Sysav Site Sorting, recycling, composting and final deposition of waste with collection of biogas

An example of integrated waste management, with a combination of many methods for an environmentally and economically correct waste management 1.Two Waste-to-Energy Plants 2.Two landfills with separation and recycling activities, composting, production of wood chips, biodegradation of waste in special cells, recovery of landfill gas, landfilling, leachate treatment 3.A pre-sorting plant for bulky waste 4.Two Transferstations

5.Nine big Recycling Centres, open for the public 6.30 Stations for the reception of household hazardous waste 7.Collection of batteries 8.A special department for collection, storage and pre-treatment of hazardous waste 9.A separation and recycling plant for electric and electronical waste 10. A special system for collection of refrigerators and freezers

11. A special system for collection and incineration of health care waste 12. Remediation of polluted soils 13. A special plant for recovery of construction materials-bricks, windows etc 14. A special subsidiary for the separation and recycling of concrete, asphalt, gravel etc 15. A special subsidiary for the recycling of waste paper, cardboard, cartons etc 16. Sysav Development Ltd for R&D

MWh energy produced annually from tons burnable waste equivalent to approx tons oil. Energy from waste

The new Waste-to-Energy Plant Waste provides electricity and heat MWh of heat and MWh of electricity will be produced annually.

Waste-to-Energy is an established and well functioning method for waste treatment and energy recovery. Waste to Energy There will be an increased need for waste incineration with energy recovery. Conclusion:

There is only one objective for waste incineration that is relevant in the Eco Cycle Society and that is energy recovery. Conclusion: Waste to Energy Volume reduction is no more an objective even if it is an important parameter when comparing environ- mental impact.

Incineration is only justified when the method is at least as favourable as other recycling or recovery alternatives. Conclusion: Waste to Energy
