*3.3.5. Shredding*

Shredding reduces void space and is particularly effective when plastics are compacted. Air, which is trapped between the folds of bulk plastic and in plastic bags and sleeving, takes up storage space. When the plastic is shredded, better use is made of the waste container space.

#### *3.3.6. Incineration*

The size reduction, mixing and blending of the solid wastes is necessary for successful combustion operation.
