waste-to-energy systems

Waste-to-energy (WTE) systems convert non-recyclable waste into usable energy, typically electricity or heat. The process involves burning or chemically treating waste in a controlled environment, reducing its volume and generating energy as a byproduct. This helps manage waste effectively while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Modern WTE facilities include pollution controls to minimize emissions, making them a sustainable way to handle waste and produce energy simultaneously. They are often integrated into waste management strategies to decrease landfill use and generate renewable energy.
