The treatment of residual waste in WtE plants fits into every resource efficiency strategy >>>

Current U.S. climate policy treats waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities and landfills in fundamentally unequal ways.

With many thanks to SEWACO s.r.o. our WasteCulture country lead for Czech Republic, we are proud to bring in some new ideas about knowledge management and how important energy recovery from waste is for GHG mitigation.

ESWET, the European Suppliers of Waste-to-Energy Technology, welcomes the Electrification Action Plan adopted today as a clear acknowledgement that Europe’s path to energy independence does not run through electricity alone.

The European Commission wants to strengthen Europe's competitiveness, drive decarbonisation and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. To this end, it has presented an action plan on electrification and the revision of the Emissions Trading System (ETS).

More than 80 participants and speakers from municipalities, associations, and industry spent two days discussing topics related to municipal waste management and the circular economy. A large industry exhibition provided the setting for the gathering.

Kanadevia Inova has been awarded a contract by Sicily Biomethan S.r.l. in connection with the development of a new Wet AD biogas plant with biomethane production in Castelvetrano, Sicily, Italy.

The cooperation will also promote the dissemination of information on the waste sector in the Czech Republic through the WasteCulture platform and support the organization of workshops ... and international exchange initiatives.

Many EU communities rely on nearby Swiss facilities for efficient waste treatment.

An option to prevent possible waste diversion from municipal waste incineration?

Works to fully commission the UK’s newest Waste to Energy facility have completed, allowing Kanadevia Inova to handover the plant to Indaver who will take it into its operational phase.

ESWET welcomes a delayed and gradual integration while calling for the transition period to deliver the conditions necessary for effective decarbonisation[1].

The European Commission’s AccelerateEU Plan was adopted today as a necessary answer to the energy price volatility stemming from the latest energy crisis and Europe’s continued exposure to fossil fuel imports.

The WtE+X Knowledge Alliance, a partnership of leading waste, energy and academic organisations – CEWEP, ESWET and WtERT – welcomes the increased focus on methane mitigation reflected in the Global Methane Status Report (GMSR) 2025.

Kanadevia Inova has officially received the Provisional Acceptance Certificate (PAC) from kenova AG for its combustion and boiler system at the new KEBAG Enova Emmenspitz waste-to-energy plant in Zuchwil, Canton Solothurn, Switzerland.

The city of São Paulo has taken another step towards circularity. In 2025, STADLER, was contracted by Ecourbis S.A., to build the “UTM Leste” sorting plant.

As European industrial manufacturers, Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technology suppliers directly contribute to the Act’s objectives and play a key role in enhancing Europe’s strategic industrial capabilities.

With all key project details finalized, Kanadevia Inova’s North America team and its partners are launching one of the most advanced organic waste-to-renewable gas projects in the region and establishing a new benchmark in circular waste management and renewable energy production.

WasteCulture's collaborator Helena Oliveira met with Yuri Schmitke, president of ABREN, to talk about various aspects of waste management in Brazil.

MARTIN GmbH and LAB won a contract to help renovate the SAKO Waste-to-Energy plant in Brno, Czech Republic.

Based on the studies reviewed in this article, it could be stated that the waste incineration represents a sink for PFAS-containing waste streams, as fewer PFAS are emitted than enter the plants.

Even if a solid assessment of GHG emissions is made, inclusion of WtE in EU-ETS is questionable before landfills for biodegradable waste are faded out Europe-wide, as it would risk to set wrong Incentives.

This paper explores how carbon capture can be integrated into thermal waste treatment plants with minimal energy losses - or even efficiency gains

This study is a first attempt to quantify the destruction and removal efficiency for PFAS, which are regulated by the Stockholm Convention as persistent organic pollutants (POPS), based on a case study in an industrial incinerator for hazardous waste.

To investigate the behaviour of PFAS in MSW incineration, a comprehensive measurement campaign was conducted at the Schweinfurt plant (Gemeinschaftskraftwerk Schweinfurt, GKS).

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.
