Jätejalostus
Jätejalostus, often translated as waste processing or waste refining, refers to the series of treatments applied to waste materials to reduce their environmental impact, recover valuable resources, and prepare them for disposal or reuse. This encompasses a wide range of techniques, from simple sorting and separation to complex chemical and biological processes. The primary goals of jätejalostus are to minimize the volume of waste sent to landfills, prevent pollution of soil, water, and air, and to extract materials that can be reintegrated into the economy.
Common methods of jätejalostus include mechanical-biological treatment (MBT), which combines physical sorting with biological degradation processes
