3. Recycling. This well-known waste management process involves turning waste into a new substance or product. Recycling can also include composting if it meets quality protocols. Despite that most of us have easy access to recycling the sobering truth is that over 60 percent of waste that ends up in the trash could be recycled 8 .

· Waste to energy power plant is used to convert waste into electricity. With the development of economy and the industrial revolution waste disposal has been becoming a major environmental issue around the world. At present we can turn MSW to energy to reduce the harmful effect of waste materials.
· 1. Introduction1.1. Research background. Urban solid waste (HSW) management is one of the enormous challenges around the world. Especially China and most of other developing countries have been experiencing high-speed urbanization and industrialization which leads to too much consumption of resources and rapid growth of urban solid waste (Mo et al. 2009 Meng et al. 2015
1 day ago · Solid-waste management the collecting treating and disposing of solid material that is discarded because it has served its purpose or is no longer useful. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste can create unsanitary conditions pollution and outbreaks of disease.
The Menace of Trash Burning. It is not uncommon to see trash burning as a means of solid waste disposal in Morocco. Currently the municipal waste stream is disposed of in a reckless and unsustainable manner which has major effects on public health and the environment. The lack of waste management infrastructure leads to burning of trash as a form of inexpensive waste disposal.
· Plastic seems all pervasive and unavoidable. Since the 1960s our use of plastic has increased dramatically and subsequently the portion of our garbage that is made up of plastic has also increased from 1 of the total municipal solid waste stream ( garbage) to approximately 13 (US Environmental Protection Agency).
3. Recycling. This well-known waste management process involves turning waste into a new substance or product. Recycling can also include composting if it meets quality protocols. Despite that most of us have easy access to recycling the sobering truth is that over 60 percent of waste that ends up in the trash could be recycled 8 .
In 2015 34.5 million tons of plastic waste was generated in the U.S. with 26 million tons landfilled. 5.4 million tons ended up being combusted for energy while only 3.1 million tons was recycled.

· This activity is known as the plastic recycling process. The goal of recycling plastic is to reduce high rates of plastic pollution while putting less pressure on materials to produce brand new plastic products. This approach helps to conserve resources and diverts plastics from landfills or unintended destinations such as oceans.
