Is Energy Recovery Safe?
• Energy recovery from hazardous waste is a safe process. Each step of the recycling process is highly regulated and subject to strict safety standards. The regulations govern both air emissions and waste management practices (transportation, handling, and storage.) Cement kilns that use hazardous waste as fuel are strictly regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), and the Clean Air Act (CAA).
