Waste-to-Resources

Mechanical-biological waste treatment (MBT) is an efficient and comparatively cheap way to recycle components of the residual waste and to reduce organic input into landfill. In Germany 42 MBT plants with an annual treatment capacity of more than 5,100,000 t per year are in operation. In Austria and Italy MBT is also a wide spread technique and it is going to become a very important waste management option in many other countries. In a time of strongly increasing demand for material resources, extraction of recyclable materials from waste is becoming more and more important.

Waste-to-Resources MBT focuses on MBT and additionally on automatic waste sorting technology as the bridge between waste management and recycling industry. Having participants from 41 countries, the previous Waste-to-Resources conference in 2009 underlined its position as world’s most recognised conference on MBT & MRF (material recovery facilities).

On three days experts from more than 15 countries will present their practical experiences and new developments.

1st day: general topics, strategies, different waste treatment technologies
2nd day: mechanical- biological waste treatment
3rd day: processing of refuse derived fuel (RDF), sorting of recyclables, waste analysis
