Homogeneous Waste is waste that is uniform in nature. There are 2 key aspects to classifying a waste as homogeneous:
- a process with demonstrably consistent, well characterised, and controlled inputs/raw materials that do not vary in composition or quantity, and
- the results from the sampling demonstrate that no statistical difference exists between samples taken over the time period (i.e. one batch is the same as any other)[1].
The Homogenisation of waste is a common process used in the production of Waste Derived Fuel preparation, to meet a specific feedstock requirement of an Energy from Waste (EfW) facility[2]. Homogenous waste is preferred for EfW processes as it provides consistent outputs and reliable electricity/heat/chemical generation.
