Waste to Watt: Energizing your Waste. Waste-to-energy ( WtE ) is a broad term encompassing various technologies that convert non-recyclable waste into usable forms of energy, primarily electricity and heat. It's essentially a process of extracting value from trash by using it to generate power.
India is among the world’s top 10 countries generating municipal solid waste (MSW). According to a report by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), India generates over 62 million tons (MT) of waste in a year. Only 43 MT of total waste generated gets collected, with 12 MT being treated before disposal, and the remaining 31 MT simply discarded in wasteyards. (April 2023) Source: NITI Aayog report
