Resource recovery technologies

Resource recovery technologies are methods used to extract valuable materials or energy from waste, transforming waste that might otherwise be discarded into useful products. This includes processes like recycling, where metals, plastics, and paper are recovered, as well as waste-to-energy techniques such as incineration with energy capture, biogas production from organic waste, and pyrolysis to convert waste into fuels and chemicals. These technologies reduce environmental impact, conserve natural resources, and promote sustainability by turning waste into beneficial resources rather than simply disposing of it.
