In the world, energy consumption has risen rapidly in accordance with increase in economical growth in the last decades. This trend is expected to be gone one in the near future. Increasing demand has resulted in increase in supply and due to the non efficient use could cause serious economical, environmental and social problems. Also it has been measured that the rapid development has resulted in deterioration of the environment such as deforestation in ecology and health risk due to air pollution. In the past decade, therefore, has shown a substantial interest in implementation of the energy related policies that will bring this adverse effects under control. For all these reasons, waste-to-energy production and consumption should be increased for the use of renewable energy. RDF production and consumption is important for a sustainable environment and economy. Our company, AVVA Global RDF LTD, operates in RDF Trading with its long years of experience in energy generation from waste.
