Firstly, the consumption of primary fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas, is reduced as energy is generated as part of the waste incineration process. Secondly, the FGD gypsum that accumulates during incineration is processed so that it can be used as a building material. Thirdly, the residual materials resulting from the flue gas cleaning processes can also be recycled. The large volumes of gypsum are, in particular, used by our sister company, REMONDIS Production, which returns the various calcium sulphate products to production cycles under its RADDIBIN® brand name.

Thanks to the state-of-the-art technology used at our facilities, our RETHERM division also makes an important contribution towards protecting the environment and preventing climate change.
