Energy from Waste (EfW)
To recover energy from waste is a necessary and useful part of the whole waste management process. Inciner8 have developed the first truly mobile waste to energy solution in their EfW range of equipment. Using new technology they have devised the optimal way to create energy from waste and make it useable for multiple applications ranging from disinfection, heating, washing or the generation of ...

In fact, the percentage of waste we burn for energy is actually slightly down in the past five years. What’s holding the U.S. back from this potentially sustainable solution? This stagnation is even more surprising when ...

What factors are influencing waste to energy capacity requirements in the UK and Europe?
What factors are influencing waste to energy capacity requirements in the UK and Europe? How can the EU balance its EFW capacity going forward? As growth in municipal recycling has slowed to a crawl over the last five years, after racing from 11.2% in 2000/01 to 41.5% in 2010/11, the European target of 50% recycling by 2020 is beginning to look increasingly challenging. Let alone the 65% target ...

Plastics are not all biodegradable and there are still millions of plastic bags being manufactured, used and ending up in landfill so the ...
