Be aware of Biomass from High-rise Residential Buildings >>>

A crucial but often overlooked group finally gained greater visibility: the waste pickers, represented by the International Alliance of Waste Pickers (IAWP).

This approach aligns with the established role of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) in managing unavoidable biogenic waste, recovering partly renewable energy and materials, preventing methane emissions from landfilling, and supporting circular resource use while contributing to climate-neutrality objectives.

The proposal fails to prioritise material uses of biomass – which are more sustainable and resource efficient – over its use for energy. It also fails to phase out subsidies, state aid, and other support schemes for bioenergy.

During the COP30 conference, the UN and Climate and Clean Air Coalition published an assessment of the global effort to reduce methane emissions revealing a rise rather than reduction in global methane emissions.

The report warns that only full-scale implementation of proven and available control measures will close the gap to the Global Methane Pledge’s target of a 30% cut from 2020 levels by 2030

The world wastes over one billion tonnes of food every year, contributing up to 10 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

We are proud to share the latest publication by Prof. Hani Abu-Qdais Chair of our WtERT Jordan Chapter of our association hosted at University of Science and Technology (JUST).

This study suggests a waste-to-energy technology and conducts a techno-economic and environmental impact assessment to analyze its technical feasibility and economic viability and determine its potential sustainability.

As discussed inside Global WtERT Council we are now in the process of taking the small step towards the new website wasteculture.com. I am convinced that this also will help the common cause to foster WtE techniques who need more acceptance in society.

The new Waste Framework Directive Revision on Food and Textile Waste was published in the EU Official Journal on 26 September and entered into force on 16 October 2025.

Despite generating over 22 million tonnes of food waste annually, Mexico continues to face significant challenges in implementing a cohesive and effective national strategy to address the issue.

Waste from food and other rubbish in landfills accounts for around 10 per cent of all global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the UN’s Environmental Programme.

Skanderborg-based Bigadan A/Sand Kanadevia Inova AG are extending their collaboration with the ongoing development of more biogas plants in Denmark.

The landmark acquisition accelerates the evolution of the Kanadevia Inova business beyond Business Development, EPC and plant lifecycle service provider.

The COP29 Declaration on Reducing Methane from Organic Waste marks the first time waste is formally included in a COP Declaration.

The implementation of this integrated system is proposed as a viable technical solution for sustainable waste management in high-rise buildings, aligning with global trends in eco-friendly urban development and addressing the challenges posed by climate change.

The Council adopted its position (‘general approach’) on the targeted revision of the waste framework directive, with a focus on food and textile waste.
