waste-to-energy incineration

Waste-to-energy incineration is a process that converts non-recyclable waste materials into usable energy, typically in the form of electricity or heat. The waste is burned at high temperatures in a controlled environment, which reduces its volume and eliminates harmful pathogens. This combustion generates steam that drives turbines to produce electricity. While it helps manage waste effectively and reduces landfill use, it also raises concerns about air pollution and the release of greenhouse gases. Modern facilities are designed with advanced filtration systems to minimize these emissions, aiming for a balance between energy production and environmental protection.
