Abstract :

Protecting the Environment is becoming one of the most important concerns of the developed and developing countries. Reclamation of MSW landfills, which are sources of many pollutants including leachate and greenhouse gases, would be very valuable in saving the resources and reducing the pollution scale. In the current article the potential for use of reclaimed waste in RDF production has been investigated. At the end of the article the optimized RDF production cycle for Iran has been suggested and compared with data from other countries.
