One step closer to reach circularity in waste incineration by-products
Jun 2020The Swedish environmental company Ragn-Sells is taking a significant step to achieve circularity in the Waste-to-Energy sector by constructing a new facility where commercial salts will be extracted from waste incineration ashes that so far are landfilled. One of the by-products generated during the waste-to-energy (WtE) process is fly ash. Fly ash results from the […]
