A type of [[Waste Derived Fuel]], [[Refuse Derived Fuel]] or [[RDF]] has been prepared by a treatment process to produce a broad specification fuel, which is still considered to be a waste, that can be used by an [[EfW]] plant. The specification will depend upon the plant to be used, but typically at the most basic level will have had metals and inert materials removed, removal of some recyclables and limited shredding/bag splitting. More refined [[RDF]] will have had drying, shredding to a uniform size and [[Moisture Content]] reduction. At the very high end of production the [[RDF]] will move towards being a [[SRF]].

Moving [[Refuse Derived Fuel]] and [[Solid Recovered Fuel]] from the UK abroad requires compliance with the [[Transfrontier Shipment Regulations]] ([[TFS]]) and in simple terms requires an application for movement to be made to the relevant authorities that requires a number of key measures to be satisfied before this can occur.
