This is a scoping review of agglomeration techniques to obtain of solid bodies from particle waste-materials for their utilization. For this purpose, the granulation and briquetting of fine coal and fly ash were presented in detail. Many successful works on solid fuels production, with coal only, and also with the addition of biomass, were presented. During the solid fuel combustion in power boilers, significant amounts of ash are generated. The properties of fly ashes were taken into consideration, and different methods of their utilization were proposed to obtain a wide range of useful products. Con-sequently, the waste resources of coal and ash were fully utilized. In final remarks, it was concluded, that the agglomeration techniques play an important role in waste management, but particularly in the circular economy.
