Circular Economy

MIHG energy from waste plants can help support the circular economy.

• Metropolitan councils wish to increase recycling and reuse of wastes by building Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) and Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) facilities.

• However, in most cases, residual wastes are still being sent to landfill

​

The illustration below shows how a MIHG energy from waste plant can be integrated with waste management infrastructure to maximise the recycling of the domestic and industrial wastes, composting of organic wastes and production of renewable energy from biogas and from residual wastes.
