    From waste to energy: A new way to use non-recyclable waste
    (2023-11-15) Cis Almada, Juan María; Schonfeld, Franco
    Abstract— The global energy crisis, driven by population growth and industrialization, necessitates sustainable energy sources. This paper explores converting non-recyclable waste into energy, providing dual benefits: waste management and energy generation. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goals, this approach reduces environmental impact produced by waste and aids urban waste management. The paper highlights the global impact of solid waste, details the waste-to-energy process, and discusses its advantages and disadvantages. Although it is a good idea, it requires careful consideration and simultaneous waste reduction efforts to address energy and environmental challenges responsibly. It is expected that this paper may inform about the energy problem and show a new technique for obtaining energy that gives a useful purpose the burning of waste so as to have a new form of energy supply.
