Development of REFIOMs
REMEX
Efficient solution for the recovery of REFIOM (Residues for the purification of smoke from incineration of household waste)
Through its subsidiary REKS, REMEX Each year, we commit to the recovery of nearly 700,000 tonnes of REFIOM in Germany, thanks to an innovative and sustainable process. These residues, mainly produced in Germany but also from France, Italy and the Netherlands, are often classified as ultimate waste because of their specific physico-chemical characteristics.
However, these REFIOMs, despite their waste status, can be reused in a beneficial way. Thanks to a unique recovery process, REMEX transforms these residues into filling materials for salt mines in Germany. This method helps stabilize land in inhabited areas, thus minimizing the risk of soil collapse.
This technology has been rigorously validated and controlled by the competent authorities in Germany and France, thus providing a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional landfill solutions for REFIOM in hazardous waste storage facilities (HWSI). By reusing these materials responsibly, REMEX actively contributes to reducing environmental impact while providing sustainable solutions for industrial waste management.
