Objectives of the Research Project
The objective of the research project is the optimization and adaptation of an existing mechanical-biological recycling and residual waste treatment plant. A concept for waste disposal and for the rehabilitation of abandoned landfills including required leachate treatment is to be developed. Defined applications of reusable materials are to be investigated, in order to recycle and reuse as many materials as possible. As a result of the project, a manual for the application of mechanical-biological waste treatment in Brazil will be compiled taking into consideration residual waste treatment and landfill leachate treatment.
