Energy content of SRF from RMSW in the Trentino Region as a results of biowaste collection strategies

An analysis of the residual municipal solid waste resulted from a highly efficient selective collection is presented for an Italian case study. The dynamics of selective collection and residual municipal solid waste composition is described in order to understand the evolution of the sector. A detailed characterization of calorific value, Cl content and Hg content has been performed in order to discuss the potential classification of the residual municipal solid waste of the studied area as solid recovered fuel (after simplified treatments, mostly of homogenization). The obtained results point out the important role of food waste collection in this frame.
