RDF production from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is not common in developing countries where basic landfills are the standard. The example from Cilacap/Indonesia shows that RDF production can be done successfully with all involved parties and the environment benefiting. Applying a robust design, reliable RDF production is possible, even with highly varying waste characteristics.
