Waste: According the Business Directionary,

1. Resources consumed by inefficient or non-essential activities
2. Unwanted material left over from a production process, or output which has no marketable value
3. Process or material that does not (from the viewpoint of the customer) add value to a good or service
4. Material discharged to, deposited in, or emitted to an environment in such amount or manner that causes a harmful change.

To reduce waste that has to go to landfill or an incineration facility, we increasingly have started to recycle our waste, or at least, some types of waste which are easily to identify and separate. After all, we all support recycling but should not bring too much of an effort… the empty plastic or glass drinking bottle, the empty tin, yesterday’s newspaper or even some of our organic waste is collected to be composted; all these items are easy to collect for recycling. But then we have a lot of other waste which cannot collect separately for recycling….

Just think of the contents of a garbage bag which everyone of us has and which we all bring to the street for collection. This mixed waste – so-called ‘’black bag waste’’ - is by far the majority of all the waste we produce.

All this is not the only waste we produce. All consumer goods are produced from raw materials – production and transport of these goods also produce waste….sometimes not visible or recognized. A good example are the tyres from our cars. When we put new tyres under our cars, the old ones are taken in by the garage so we have nothing to do with them anymore – but where do your old tyres go ?

We, Energy From Waste (EFW) UK Ltd. have stepped in to further reduce the volumes of left-over waste in our society and – more importantly – extract the energy which is left in that waste.
