Incinerator bottom ash

Not to be confused with MIBA or Societé Minière de Bakwanga.

Incinerator bottom ash (IBA) is a form of ash produced in incineration facilities.[1][2] This material is discharged from the moving grate of municipal solid waste incinerators.[3][2] Once IBA is processed by removing contaminants, it can be used as an aggregate. Following processing, the material is termed IBA aggregate or processed IBA. The aggregate uses include:

Alternatively, if there are no local markets for the IBA the material is disposed of in a landfill.[2]
