[[Category:Tonnage & Waste Types]]

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 supplied under a [[Fuel Supply Agreement]]. 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]].
