Waste to Energy (WtE)
While reducing waste by reusing and recycling is the preferred and more sustainable option, unfortunately, not all waste can be recycled. Waste-to-energy, also called bioenergy, is another opportunity for reducing the amount of waste being sent to landfill sites. Refuse derived fuel, and solid recovered fuel involves the process of generating energy in the form of electricity or heat from waste. It is mostly made up of municipal waste consisting of suitable components such as biodegradable waste and plastic.
