The sorting center currently includes:
– Sorting of recyclable materials: separation of reusable materials (paper, plastic, metal) for their recovery in dedicated sectors.
– Sorting of organic materials: identification and treatment of fermentable waste, with a view to their transformation into biogas via the methanization unit.
– Preparation of CSR (Solid Recovered Fuel): production of fuel from non-recyclable waste for energy recovery.
Run’Eva will ultimately include three sectors for the recovery of household waste: sorting of recyclable materials, methanization of the fermentable fraction of residual household waste and bio-waste, and energy recovery from solid recovery fuels (SRF), from waste. not recyclable.
