EU’s WASTE CLASSIFICATION
In EU (and in
Poland) waste ore
divided into 20
groups (which are
followed by
subgroups and
sorts).
SAFETY CRITERION
− combustible, like:
paper, plastic, wood, leather, gum, food, garden residues,
fabrics and others,
− noncombustible, like:
glass, ceramic, stones, metals and others.
CRITERION OF COMBUSTIBILITY
OF WASTES
Notion of combustibility:
– notion of combustibility is not obvious,
– it requires criteria of combustibility

WASTES CINCINERATION SYSTEMS
I. Incineration management
– waste burning,
– waste co-firing in: heating plants, power plants and cement plants
II. Incineration technology
– waste combustion,
– waste pyrolysis,
– waste gasification.
III. Waste type
– municipal solid waste incineration plants (MSWIP),
– sewage sludge incineration plants,
– hazardous waste incineration plants.
