from a waste product and processed in<br />

order to regain material.<br />

RECYCLING RATE<br />

the percentage by weight of a given<br />

limited to, post consumer material, industrial<br />

scrap material and overstock or obsolete<br />

RDF-2<br />

Wastes processed to coarse particle<br />

size with or without ferrous metal<br />

separation.<br />

RDF-3<br />

Combustlble waste fraction processed<br />

to particle sizes -<br />

95 percent passing 2 inch square<br />

screening.<br />

RDF-4<br />

Combustible waste fraction processed<br />

into powder form - 95 percent<br />

passing 10 mesh screening.<br />

in the private home or apartment<br />

house. Also called domestic or household<br />

refuse. (1)<br />

REFUSE DERIVED FUEL (RDF)<br />

product of a mixed waste processing<br />

system in which certain recyclable and<br />

non-combustible materials are removed,<br />

and the remalning combustible material is<br />

converted for use as a fuel to create<br />

energy. (7)<br />

REGRIND, PLASTIC<br />

plastic products or parts of a product that<br />

have been reclaimed by shredding and<br />

granulating for use in-house. (5)<br />
