A diagram illustrating the position of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) within the Waste Management Hierarchy (WMH) and the Circular Economy (CE) framework. The WMH side of the diagram features a series of descending triangles representing different waste management strategies. The top triangle is labeled 'Prevention,' followed by 'Preparing for re-use,' 'Recycling,' 'Other recovery,' and 'Disposal' at the bottom. The CE framework side lists ten strategies in descending order: 'Refuse,' 'Rethink,' 'Reduce,' 'Reuse,' 'Repair,' 'Refurbish,' 'Remanufacture,' 'Repurpose,' 'Recycle,' and 'Recover.' The diagram shows that RDF fits into the 'Other recovery' tier of the WMH and the 'Recover' strategy of the CE framework. Arrows and labels indicate the flow and relationship between these strategies and tiers.Position of RDF in WMH and the CE framework.
