Myth and Fact of waste-to-energy

🚫 Myth: Waste-to-energy plants produce more pollution than landfills.
✅ Fact: Modern waste-to-energy plants have strict emission controls and significantly reduce methane emissions from landfills.

Did you know that landfills are among the largest sources of methane emissions? Methane is a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than CO₂, making landfill waste a major environmental challenge. By converting non-recyclable waste into alternative fuels, we’re helping industries and cities reduce their carbon footprint while generating energy efficiently.

🔹 Controlled Emissions – Modern technology ensures clean combustion.
🔹 Methane Reduction – Diverting waste from landfills to minimize harmful gas release.
🔹 Energy Recovery – Turning waste into a valuable fuel source instead of letting it sit in landfills.

Let’s rethink waste. It’s not just trash—it’s an opportunity for cleaner energy. 🌱
