Beyond the regulatory aspects that regulate it, from a technical and practical point of view it is not correct to define the Secondary Solid Fuel (CSS) simply as waste. This fuel, in fact, derives from a series of particular physical and mechanical treatments of the unsorted municipal solid waste (MSW), which take place downstream of the separate collection , increasing its value and making it possible to use it as a supplier of calories in a combustion system. , the purpose of which is not the incineration of a waste, but the manufacture of a product (cement). So much so it allows its use, which is an alternative to landfill disposal and incineration and exploits a combustion process that still exists for production purposes. From a regulatory point of view, then, following the aforementioned treatments, in compliance with certain strict conditions dictated by Ministerial Decree no. 22 of 14 February 2013, the waste thus recovered ceases to be such and is recognized as a combustible product in accordance with Annex X of Part Five of Legislative Decree 152/2006. In such cases, it is therefore the processing carried out on the waste that determines its transformation into a product. The use of CSS is foreseen by the best available technologies (MTD) of the sector and respects the EU waste hierarchy, it is placed downstream of the recycling and recovery of materials by requiring energy recovery, before disposal in landfills . Co-combustion and CSS are contrary to European principles The use of CSS is inconsistent with the European waste hierarchy La co-combustione di CSS è in contrasto con la raccolta differenziata I Paesi che adottano la co-combustione di CSS non favoriscono la raccolta differenziata Il CSS è più inquinante dei combustibili fossili tradizionali Le ceneri della combustione del CSS rendono nocivo il cemento Buzzi Unicem Via Luigi Buzzi, 6 15033 Casale Monferrato (AL) - Italia Capitale sociale € 123.636.658,80 i.v.
