Energy from waste
Energy from waste (EfW) refers to the process of generating electricity or heat by converting non-recyclable waste materials. This is typically done through controlled incineration, where waste is burned to produce heat, which then drives turbines or generates steam for power. EfW reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, minimizing environmental impact, while recovering valuable energy. It’s a way to turn trash into a resource, helping manage waste responsibly and create sustainable energy, often complementing recycling and other waste management practices.
