Waste to Energy Programs

Waste-to-energy (WTE) programs convert non-recyclable waste materials into usable energy, usually electricity or heat. This process involves burning or other technologies like gasification to safely reduce waste volume while capturing the energy released. It helps decrease landfill mass, reduce environmental pollution, and generate power, making waste management more sustainable. WTE facilities are part of integrated waste systems, complementing recycling efforts and supporting renewable energy sources. By transforming trash into energy, these programs address waste disposal challenges and contribute to greener, more efficient resource use.
