Why Waste-to-Energy?
When it comes to reducing greenhouse gases, waste-to-energy is the U.S. EPA-preferred method for end-disposal — for good reason.
Why Waste-to-Energy?
Households and businesses are producing millions of tons of waste each year that needs to be managed sustainably. Waste-to-energy is a waste management operation that produces electricity as a byproduct. It is a critical provider of energy to meet the country’s electricity demands and contributes to the transition to a net-zero economy.
A study by Marco Castaldi, City College of New York professor of chemical engineering, found that while humans are producing more waste than ever, waste-to-energy is key to reducing greenhouse gases while supporting recycling and sustainable waste management.
“Waste-to-energy is the better alternative to landfilling for managing MSW that is not recyclable, a reality explicitly recognized by the waste management hierarchy recommended by both the U.S. [EPA] and the European Union.”
