Recyclate derived from an Incineration plan
t processing household waste qualifies
for Recycling on any materials recovered prior to the primary treatment reactor, for
example if the plant has a ‘front end’ Materials Recovery Facility extracting metals,
glass or plastics. In addition,
metals extracted after thermal treatment also qualify for
recycling targets. Any other materials recovered after the thermal treatment process
(e.g. Incinerator bottom ash or flue gas
treatment residues) do not count towards
recycling targets
