Refuse Derived Fuel: Country-based Reports

IPEN members researched the situation in their countries around plastic waste fuels (including Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), Process Engineered Fuel (PEF), and Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) and other waste-to-energy schemes). Below are country-based reports with the results from each project. Also, read more about IPEN’s 2022 investigations exposing Australia’s exporting of RDF to Asia despite the country’s so-called ban on plastic waste exports, which ultimately led to Australia upholding its ban and announcing that RDF would be treated as hazardous waste.
