waste-to-energy technology

Waste-to-energy technology converts non-recyclable waste materials into usable energy, typically in the form of electricity or heat. This process involves combusting or otherwise treating waste to release energy, which is then captured and used to generate power. It helps reduce landfill volume, minimizes environmental impact, and provides a renewable energy source. Modern waste-to-energy facilities utilize advanced emissions controls to limit pollution, making it a sustainable way to manage waste while producing useful energy.
