Waste recycling materializes Fiema’s proposal


Waste generated from various activities, such as packaging, leftovers from civil construction or industrial materials can be transformed and, from this process, become an energy generator, which is called waste-derived fuel (RDF). This reuse of “garbage”, with plastic discarded by various industries in Rio Grande do Sul, is one of the activities of Fundação Proamb, which organizes the Fair for Business and Technology in the Environment (Fiema), which started on Tuesday and continues until Thursday, the 11th, in Bento Gonçalves. “A country that wants to have a future has to invest in education, technology and energy”, maintains Neri Basso, president of the foundation.

The CDR replaces the green petroleum coke – this obtained from the processing of liquid petroleum fractions, that is, a fossil fuel and pollutant. Through Proamb, the plastic is transformed into a blend that will be used in co-processing by the cement industry – the residue becomes a substitute for petroleum coke, in addition to being used for plastic waste. “With this, it helps to reduce coke consumption and has a very big economic advantage”, highlights Basso.
