THEME: "Exploring the Novel Advances in Recycling and Waste Management"
Waste-to-energy (WtE) is a process that converts non-recyclable
waste materials into electricity, heat, or fuel. This approach helps to reduce
the volume of waste sent to landfills, mitigating environmental pollution and
greenhouse gas emissions. WtE facilities utilize technologies such as
incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis to generate energy from municipal
solid waste, industrial waste, and agricultural residues. However, concerns
regarding emissions, ash disposal, and potential impacts on recycling rates
require careful consideration in WtE implementation.
