Typically, incineration plant combustion temperatures are in excess of 850°C and the waste is converted into carbon dioxide and water. Any non-combustible materials (e.g. metals, glass) remain as a solid, known as Bottom Ash, which contains a small amount of residual carbon.<ref name="Inc" /> | Typically, incineration plant combustion temperatures are in excess of 850°C and the waste is converted into carbon dioxide and water.
