Waste-To-Energy Technology for the Recycling of Municipal Solid Waste into Energy Producing Sources

Fast expansion of urbanization and development is rapidly increasing the waste everywhere and land area left for dumping such huge waste is hardly available. Therefore, handling of such waste has now become a big challenge. This issue demands a kind of solution where the waste can be minimized without compromising environmental sustainability. Several methods are already available for the management of waste with each of them having some kind of drawback. The only method with complete solution to the waste handling in modern times is the process of recycling of waste and simultaneously derive good proportion of energy and value additive products. Waste to energy (WTE) technology involves eco-friendly methods including physical, thermal and biological method for the treatment of the waste and does not only minimizes the waste up to significant extent but offers a great benefit in terms of energy generation as well. Besides solving the challenging issue of waste generation, WTE technology reduces the energy demand as well.
