Waste-to-energy

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.
