The past and future of waste to energy: a Kanadevia Inova perspective

It may surprise many that today’s waste to energy (WtE) facilities (also known as energy from waste, energy recovery or incineration plants) are often overlooked in terms of their design excellence, cutting edge technological innovation and the overall environmental benefits they are delivering for communities around the world.
