Popis: The disposal of waste is a very critical problem being faced by modern India. Most of the garbage in India goes into open dumping due to a lack of proper waste management systems. The Waste to Energy (WTE) technologies prevalent in the world are predominantly on a very large scale. This needs a very sophisticated and advanced garbage collection and segregation system and hence in spite of the technology being successful, is not adopted in major parts of the world. This paper looks into the possibility of adopting a WTE technology at a micro-level as an alternative to waste management at a macro-level, thereby reducing the amount of waste that needs to be managed by the municipalities.
