Abstract One of the most misunderstood technologies in some parts world and widely adopted others is recovery energy materials by controlled combustion post-recycling wastes. This technology commonly called waste-to-energy, or simply WTE. After all possible efforts for recycling composting wastes, there remains a large fraction that either landfilled used as fuel WTE power plants also recover m...
