Sweden has been forced to import rubbish to fuel its waste-to-energy incineration program. The specially prepared waste product, called Refuse Derived Fuel, is compressed into blocks to burn in electricity generation.  The country’s small population of 9.5 million is so good at re-cycling that only 4% of rubbish goes into landfill.  Sweden is so short of RDF that it is shipping it in from Norway.
