Dutch term

reststroom

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology firm specialising in biomass management
I have my own ideas on how to translate this, but am wondering what people here think. Easy punten dus, or should that be ‘Dus easy punten’ ;) ? I'd also like to get it in the glossary for future Googlers.

Some context:

"XXX is producent en leverancier van secundaire (bio)brandstoffen en grondstoffen, afkomstig uit groen- en houtafval en hoogcalorische reststromen, voor duurzame professionele toepassingen in China, Schotland en Polen.



De kernactiviteit behelst het hergebruiken en omzetten van blad en grasachtige biomassa reststromen naar herbruikbare deelstromen."

No references in D-box please Please try to post all references in the reference entry section. This will prevent the D-box from becoming cluttered up. Thanks :-)

sorry, the rest of the word, I meant. the concept of 'stroom' can be expressed as íntended for'.
That's in this case, in this sentence: but I found sources where it talks about routes as 'streams' . Maybe that's something too? http://www.zerowasteeurope.eu/category/residual-waste/ (it's translated, something you have to keep in mind)

Residual Waste Now, here's my contribution :: although I don't really see the point for this :)
as it happens
"Residual Waste" is quite enough to express the concept. The words 'stream', 'flow' are already implied, the rest of the sentence can be condensed into "going to/intended for"

Met de natte wervelstroomscheider kan dat nu wel. Nadat alle non-ferro metalen uit de bodemas zijn verwijderd, blijft bovendien een reststroom over die als schone bouwstof kan worden toegepast, bijvoorbeeld bij de aanleg van wegen.
=
But now the wet eddy current separator has come to the rescue. Moreover, once all non-ferrous metals have been removed from the bottom ash then the residue can be used as clean building material, for instance in road building.

Wat zijn de eigenschappen van uw afval? Welke reststroom is geschikt als secundaire grondstof? Daarvoor moet u eerst uw reststromen kennen.
=
What are the properties of your waste? Which residual flow is suitable as a secondary raw material? For this, you will first need to know your residual flows.

residual (waste) stream/fractio or residue stream I usually translate "reststroom" as "residual (waste) stream/fraction" or "residue stream". See e.g.:

What are your own ideas? Please share the information you have already found. Please let future Googlers and colleagues in the language pair know what translations you are considering using. That too will benefit future Googlers as well as colleagues here. There is also the option to enter the translation(s) you've decided to use directly into the personal glossary section without posting Kudoz questions. That will also produce the desired Google hits and future Googlers will find the translations there too.

residual stream

according to this TNO text (admittedly probably a translation, but sounds OK): https://www.tno.nl/en/focus-area/healthy-living/food-nutriti...

"The food industry is committed to sustainable production processes. Residual streams that are currently unsuitable for human consumption can sometimes be upgraded by removing certain components. This approach allows such streams to be made suitable for human consumption."

So can't be regarded as waste product really.

Dutch term (edited): reststromen

process waste streams

This would be another option to consider.

There are quite a few relevant examples to be found on the internet. Here's two of them:

Algal biomass produced through the capture of process waste streams for beneficial re–use can be used as a supplemental animal feed in agricultural applications
http://marginresourcerecovery.com/product-capabilities/

Membrane filtration is very effective in removing bacteria and other impurities from protein. There is also protein to be recovered from many process waste streams.

agree Barend van Zadelhoff : Mooi gevonden. Being able to think out of the D-box. :-)

residual waste fraction

Many hits with residual waste and fraction/fractions. There is also a tendency to make waste into a plural: wastes that refers to different types of waste since waste in itself is already plural.
