(EP876220-A1)      Industrial scale recycling of waste material comprises:(a) manually or mechanically separating paper for repulping;(b) cutting the waste to 3-5 cm mean length and floating it slowly down a canal in running water;(c) further processing light flotation products of paper, polymers and woody mass to recover paper and polymers separately for recycling;(d) separating and recycling heavy sinking products such as metal and glass;(e) further processing the remaining organic mass by anaerobic digestion; a special hydrolysis treatment at pH 9.5-10 and 80-100 C for lignocellulose increases their digestibility. The digester produces methane gas, which is burned to produce electricity, and the remaining sludge is co-composed in an aerobic unit to produce mixed fertilisers.    USE -   The method can be used to dispose of collected waste materials.    ADVANTAGE -   The garbage is fully utilised with nothing rejected for disposal on landfill sites.
