Waste-to-Energy – Creating Energy from Waste
Waste-to-energy is a fairly new waste management – energy generation concept that is rapidly growing in popularity. It involves creating energy from the waste products that we discard on a daily basis… and it could be the way forward for us all. Back in 2008, the UK generated around 290 million tonnes of waste. While 43.9% of household waste in the UK was recycled by 2012, there is still a lot more than could be done.
Indeed, the area of waste-to-energy (sometimes shorted to WtE) is one that deserves more attention.
