Process for producing briquettes from a waste material and briquette made of a waste material

A method for producing briquettes from a waste material, comprising the steps of:

• providing a waste material having at least one metal and at least one organic material;
• mechanically preparing the waste material and separating at least one first fraction from the waste material;
• producing a briquette mixture containing the at least one first fraction, wherein the at least one first fraction has a calorific value of 0 MJ/kg to 30 MJ/kg;
• adjusting a calorific value of the briquette mixture by varying at least the first fraction, and
• introducing the briquette mixture into a briquetting device and pressing the briquette mixture into briquettes, so that briquettes with a calorific value of 5 MJ/kg to 30 MJ/kg and with a copper content of 0.1 wt % to 20 wt % are produced.

• and
• introducing the briquette mixture into a briquetting device and forming the briquette mixture into briquettes, so that briquettes with a calorific value of 8 MJ/kg to 25 MJ/kg and with a copper content of 0.1 wt % to 20 wt % are produced.
