Some great details, backed by really compelling data. CNBC have produced very good content on this subject which is a global problem. Moving to a ‘’zero waste’’ position is out of reach - no matter how well intentioned the narratives. There is no point using landfill as a solution when it is clear poorer economies need a better solution to their needs.

More than 2 billion tonnes of global waste is generated yearly. By 2050, it’s expected to increase to 3.4 billion tonnes. CNBC’s Nessa Anwar traces the journ...

The WTE combustion system is a really sophisticated piece of engineering which has developed into a world class way of reducing landfill and producing clean electricity.

A good graphical example of the process helps to visualise how it works, we like simple answers.

The industry is always looking at ways to improve, drive innovation and contribute to the circular economy. Fly Ash is always mentioned as a problem when in fact solutions are everywhere. A great article in WMW.

As bottom ash recycling becomes the norm, the fly ash generated during the combustion process seems to be forgotten. But instead of landfilling this very hazardous waste, valuable materials can be recovered from it.
