Depok Builds RDF Plant with 1,000 Ton Capacity, Reduces Burden on Cipayung Landfill

After that, the waste is directed to the breaker machine and disc screen. This machine is used to open material and sort waste based on size.

Materials with Economic Value Separated

Materials that still have economic value will be separated from the processing flow. Metals are directed for recycling, while nonferrous materials such as aluminum and copper are recovered.

Plastic, paper, glass, and materials classified as hazardous and toxic are also separated by category.

Waste that meets the requirements is then processed into RDF for industrial needs. Meanwhile, reusable materials are put into the recycling chain.

The scheme is expected to mean that waste management no longer stops at transporting it from homes, markets and business premises to landfill.

However, the success of the RDF Plant still depends on the quality of raw materials, consistency of supply, marketing of production results, controlling emissions, and sorting waste from the source.
