The management of waste, in recent times, is of growing importance. The world and european legislation is increasingly turning towards a sustainable approach by strictly following the now-rooted hierarchy of waste management. One of the solutions to the problem of the growing generation of waste is the energy recovery. According to the 2018 data, there are approximately 1180 energy recovery facilities in the world. Most of the plants are located in Europe, North America and East Asia. Refuse derived fuel, in the literature known as RDF, implies all waste used for energy purposes. However, without any standardization and classification, fuel from waste in such a form did not constitute a satisfactory source of energy. In order to address this problem, standards have been developed to uniquely describe and regulate such fuel. Fuels produced according to the requirements of the European fuel Standard from the waste, are called ' Solid Recovered Fuels ', in the literature known under the abbreviation SRF. The establishment of appropriate standardization creates a basis for the development of modern energy recovery technology which results in both generation of energy and a reduction in the volume of waste that is landfilled.
