What is the best way to dispose of waste?

• Waste incineration is the method of neutralising municipal solid waste; (energy is gain in this process) • For many years domestic waste is incinerated in company - MEDIEN PARTNER RECYKLING in Poland

COMPOSTING • Composting of municipal solid waste is the method of organic matter recovery.

• Compost is organic matter that has been decomposed and recycled as a fertilizer. Compost can be rich in nutrients and it’s a key ingredient in organic farming.

It is usually used in gardens.

RECYCLING

Recycling is a process of: • changing materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, • reducing energy usage, • reducing air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from land filling)
