and ecological footprint.
Environmental advantages
This plant also reduces the use of contro-
lled landflls, a limited resource, which can
now focus strictly on non-reusable waste.
Producing RDF enables the company to
optimize recycled waste, the bulk of which
comes from FCC Ámbito’s plants, whe-
re the recoverable fractions (paper, car-
dboard, plastic, metal, etc.) have already
been extracted.
Among the key environmental advantages
is the fact that this new fuel will signifcantly
reduce CO
2
emissions and provide signi-
fcant savings due to fuel substitution and
unused CO
2
emissions allowances since
one ton of RDF can offset more than one
ton of CO
2
emissions.
