Shredding solid waste for RDF and SRF production
Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and solid recovered fuel (SRF) are valuable alternative fuels made from waste materials such as municipal solid waste, commercial and industrial waste – often containing mixed materials that is not suitable for recycling.
M&J provides powerful pre-shredders and fine-shedders that can transform mixed waste into RDF or SRF. They give you a high-quality end-product with the uniform grain size needed for stable, efficient combustion and consistent fuel quality.
Whether you run a cement plant, waste-to-energy plant, or any other high-energy-consuming industry that can use RDF or SRF as an alternative to coal and fossil fuels, M&J shredder will help optimize your operation.

Waste shredders for
Municipal solid waste
Mixed household waste from residential areas – often contains organic waste, paper products, plastics, glass, metals and more.
Commercial and industrial waste
Mixed waste from businesses, industrial facilities etc. – e.g. packaging waste, production offcuts, bulky and mixed general waste
Construction and demolition waste
Mixed debris from building and demolition sites – e.g., concrete, bricks, wood, glass, insulation, and more.
Post-consumer plastic bag opening
Post-consumer waste plastics bags, such as the yellow bags collected in Germany.
Waste wood & wood stumps
Discarded timber, pallets, wood stumps, treated lumber, sawmill residue, cable drums, crates, veneer wood, plywood sheets etc.
Bulky waste
Large, odd-sized items such as mattresses, furniture, timber, kitchen appliances, pallets and more.
Paper and cardboard
Recyclable fiber-based materials like cardboard boxes, paper rolls, corrugated cardboard,
paper products and packaging.
Plastic waste
Post-consumer plastics like PET bottles, containers, pipes, tubes, packaging film, and plastic bags from mixed waste streams.
M&J experts
Did you know that M&J shredders are trusted by alternative fuel producers around the world?
We’re happy to share references for relevant sites that rely on M&J shredders for their RDF/SRF production.
Optimized shredding for high-quality alternative fuels
To produce high-quality RDF or SRF, waste must be shredded to a specific particle size, determined by your fuel specifications and combustion technology. For any RDF/SRF application, high quality is critical, as inconsistent output can cause operational inefficiencies and fluctuations in energy production.
M&J pre-shredders and fine-shredders are engineered to meet these demands. With high torque and intelligent cutting systems, they handle complex waste streams and reduce particle size with precision, delivering a high-quality end-product for maximum energy yield.
Whether you’re fuelling cement kilns, gasifiers, or waste-to-energy plants, M&J shredders help you produce reliable, energy-rich RDF and SRF—safely, efficiently, and profitably.
