Treatment routes based on waste type and suitability
Hazardous waste varies considerably in terms of its composition and the treatment options available. Each individual waste stream is therefore assessed to determine whether recycling or another suitable form of recovery is possible, or whether safe disposal is required. The decisive factors are the properties of the waste as well as the relevant technical and legal requirements. Throughout this process, REMONDIS Industrie Service follows the applicable. For cross-border waste shipments, we operate in accordance with Regulation (EU) 1157/2024 on shipments of waste and the Basel Convention. We coordinate the required documentation, movement documents and regulatory requirements, providing our customers with accurate and reliable support throughout the process.
In practice, this includes:
Providing waste management companies in countries with limited treatment capacity with access to suitable technologies and specialised hazardous waste treatment facilities
Taking the legally defined waste hierarchy into account when assessing the most appropriate treatment route for every waste stream and project
Processing used metal packaging to recover valuable metals – aerosol can recycling, for example, enables aluminium and tinplate to be separated and recovered
Processing non-recyclable waste with a high calorific value into refuse-derived fuel (RDF) for use in suitable industrial facilities
Processing suitable waste solvents using specialised methods so that they may be reused in industrial applications
From waste stream to the right treatment route
The European waste hierarchy defines the preferred order for managing waste. It consists of five stages: prevention, reuse, recycling, recovery and disposal. It also provides the basis for assessing suitable treatment routes for hazardous waste. Which route is appropriate depends on the properties of the waste, the available treatment methods and the applicable technical and legal requirements. Each waste stream is therefore carefully assessed to determine which treatment or recovery option is most suitable. REMONDIS Industrie Service operates specialised facilities for processing and recovering a wide range of waste materials.
The production of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) plays an important role in this context. Suitable waste solvents and other waste with a high calorific value can be processed into liquid RDF and used, for example, in industrial processes. Suitable solvents can also be recovered through distillation and reintroduced into industrial applications. This matches the terminology and treatment routes already used on the REMONDIS hazardous-waste site. A range of other treatment methods is available for waste that cannot be recycled. These include thermal treatment hazardous waste incineration plants as well as chemical-physical treatment, particularly for liquid waste and wastewater. Where recovery or further treatment is not technically or legally possible, suitable disposal routes are assessed. Depending on the properties of the waste and the relevant acceptance criteria, these may include underground disposal sites and engineered landfill sites.
