AEB recovers European waste

AEB got granted in March 2010 the `Recovery' status (the so-called R1-status). This means that converting waste into energy and building materials with the high output that obtains AEB is seen as recycling. For AEB a recognition for the long search for the most efficient manner of converting waste into durable energy. This R1-status gives AEB the opportunity to import waste from other European countries.
