Article Synopsis
- - The EU aims to boost recycling targets for packaging materials, including metals and glass, as part of fostering a circular economy and exploring the potential of recovering metals from incineration bottom ashes (IBA).
- - An industrial-scale experiment evaluated the recoverable amounts of aluminum, magnetic ferrous metals, and glass over 4 mm from different types of IBA, highlighting that fluidized bed IBA significantly outperformed grate IBA in recoverable glass content and metal separation.
- - Enhanced treatment methods can recover over 95% of aluminum and magnetic ferrous metals from IBA, indicating that adopting advanced processing techniques, particularly for fluidized bed IBA, can effectively contribute to recycling efforts and the transition to a circular economy. *
