Material Recovery
Any operation to salvage additional materials after the actions above. Does not include energy recovery and the reprocessing into materials that are to be used as fuels or other means to generate energy, which are unacceptable practices.
Material Recovery
- Maximize materials recovery from mixed discards after extensive source separation
- Consider chemical processing in the form of repolymerization (i.e. Plastic-to-Plastic or P2P) only for materials which are not suitable for mechanical recycling
- Backfilling**
