Resource recovery<br />
Waste is a resource. With resource recovery, disposed<br />
products or by-products are used to make<br />
new valuable products. This makes that there will<br />
be less waste, more recycled raw materials and reduced<br />
landfill space. To extract the maximum value<br />
from waste is the aim. This touches upon the collecting,<br />
sorting, waste to energy... In the port area’s,<br />
resource recovery focuses mostly on the industrial<br />
scale of global material chains (textile, agri-food...)<br />
Since the ports make the transition from transit<br />
port, focused on import and export of semi-finished<br />
products and products, to a port in the service of<br />
more local production chains, the resource recovery<br />
activities changes with it.<br />
Product life extension<br />
A product or component is reused by reparation, upgrading<br />
or remanufacturing to become again a functional<br />
product or component.
