    The implementation of separate collection opened the

    possibility to treat biowaste. Despite this, the treatment

    of residual waste is still very important

    The mechanical-biological-treatment (MBT) is

    combination of two processes:

    the first one, mechanical, is dedicated to the separation

    of recyclable materials and the organic fraction from the

    bulk waste while the second one, biological, is dedicated

    to the stabilization of this organic material.

    The biological step can be either aerobic or anaerobic.

    The main benefit of MBT technology is its capability of

    reducing the mass and volume of waste sent to

    landfills. At the same time, recyclable or thermally

    reusable fractions can be separated.

    typical aims of MBT plants include the:

    �Pre-treatment of waste going to landfill;

    �Diversion of non-biodegradable and biodegradable MSW

    going to landfill through the mechanical sorting of MSW into

    materials for recycling and/or energy recovery as refuse

    y The mechanical stage of the process generally has two

    main roles:

    � to brake down the waste in smaller parts and

    � recovery some recyclable materials

    The net result will be the reduction of the mass and volume

    of the treated waste due to the removal of materials for

    recycling and both carbon and moisture losses.

    Clearly, recycled material has a worst quality than the one

    coming from separate collection !

    Beside the recyclable materials and the biogas the residual

    outputs are a biostabilized material and RDF.

    The typical AD application is the DRY process.

    In case of the application of a WET AD process, a further

    “purification” step is needed to remove the residual

    MARKETS & OUTLETS FOR THE OUTPUTS

    Recyclables derived from the various MBT processes are

    typically of a lower quality than those derived from a

    separate household recyclate collection system and

    therefore have a lower potential for high value markets.

    Materials which may be extracted from

    MBT processes include metals, glass, textiles,

    MBT processes include metals, glass, textiles,

    paper/card, and plastics. The most common of these is

    glass, which may be segregated with other

    inert materials such as stones and ceramics.
