Description

RPF, “Refuse Paper & Plastic Fuel” is a fuel provided in solid form using non-reclaimable used paper and plastic waste as its staple materials. The use of RPF is increasingly receiving high marks from mainly paper industry as an alternative to fossil fuels, due to its superiorities such as fuel quality, cost and environmentally mild impact. This report features RPF properties, market demand and related information on the latest activities making conformance of RPF to JIS requirements or ensuing action toward legal revisions, and also introduces a new technology C-RPF, consisted mainly of charcoal and plastic waste. This charcoal, called “Char”, is produced through a process of carbonizing kitchen garbage (combustible trash) . C-RPF can be substantially substituted for coal as well as RPF and can contribute to reduce green house gas emission by curtailing fossil fuel use. Therefore, C-RPF has high expectation as one of the powerful way for recycling domestic waste which has been being collected and combusted by local governments.
