Waste-to-Energy is a process that converts non-recyclable waste materials into usable energy, typically in the form of electricity or heat. This method helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills while generating power. By burning waste in a controlled environment, harmful emissions can be minimized, making it a cleaner alternative to traditional waste disposal methods.
The energy produced from waste can be used to power homes and businesses, contributing to a more sustainable energy system. Technologies like incineration and anaerobic digestion are commonly used in Waste-to-Energy facilities, showcasing innovative ways to tackle waste management and energy production simultaneously.
