Ivan Bateman's Gravatar Unfamiliar acronyms.

In the EA for the Durham incinerator I ran across the following constituents in a municipal waste analysis chart:

CCNR Other 0.3% of total
CCCN Other 4.3% of total

What are they?

Ken Donnelly's Gravatar Ivan, you old hound dog! How are you? Been a long time, hope you are well!

If you check out this link, you will find those two terms defined for a waste characterization study: http://people.engr.ncsu.edu/barlaz/resources/solan...

CCCR - commercial wastes that are combustible, compostable and recyclable
CCNR - commercial wastes that are combustible, non-compostable and recyclable.

It seems that the world has exhausted its finite supply of three-letter acronyms (TLAs) and is now working on using up the 4-letter ones. ;)

Cheers,

Ken Donnelly
