    Hi, I am Joseph, I have good experience in MSW Recycling plant for 10 yrs. and have complete knowledge of its process, i have been plant manager.

So, i will do as you require if you need any consultancy or install this zero waste system. i can sure you will see a rise in income.
    Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) or solid recovered fuel/ specified recovered fuel (SRF) is a fuel produced by shredding and dehydrating solid waste (MSW) with a Waste converter technology. RDF consists largely of combustible components of municipal waste such as plastics and biodegradable waste. RDF processing facilities are normally located near a source of MSW. SRF can be distinguished from RDF in the fact that it is produced. A comprehensive review is now available on SRF / RDF production, quality standards and thermal recovery.
