palamisjätettä

Palamisjätettä is a Finnish term that translates to "combustible waste" or "incinerable waste" in English. It refers to household or industrial waste that can be burned in an incineration plant to generate energy. This type of waste typically includes materials such as paper, cardboard, plastics, textiles, and some organic matter.

The process of burning palamisjätettä in waste-to-energy plants plays a significant role in waste management in many Finnish municipalities. By incinerating this waste, valuable energy, often in the form of heat and electricity, can be recovered. This reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills and contributes to the local energy supply.

However, the collection and treatment of palamisjätettä require careful management. It is important to separate non-combustible materials and hazardous substances from this waste stream to ensure the efficiency and safety of the incineration process and to minimize potential environmental impacts. Proper sorting at the source by households and businesses is crucial for effective waste management and energy recovery. Different types of palamisjätettä may have varying energy content and require specific combustion conditions.
