Refuse Derivative Fuel (RDF)

Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) is a processed form of waste used as an alternative energy source. It involves shredding and separating waste materials—such as plastics, paper, and textiles—removing non-combustible items like metals and glass. The resulting material is then dried and processed into a consistent, energy-rich fuel compatible with existing power plant technologies. RDF helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and minimizes landfill waste by converting everyday trash into useful energy, supporting sustainable waste management and energy production.
