The director Czech CKD Technical Group, which specializes in engineering and electrical industries, said the sold incineration tradition which dates back 25 years in his country, has proven successful.
He added that the performance of the solid waste incineration plant Zevo Malesice, which processes 210,000 tons of municipal waste per year and has produced 3,111 tons of metals waste (is equivalent to 20 kilometers of rails), 1,200 tons per day of heat for 20 thousand homes and electricity for 20,000 households.
