Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016, vol. 55, issue C, 1260-1266

Abstract: Despite the current strides in recycling in both the USA and Europe the remaining amounts of waste that need to be disposed of keep on increasing. Reversal of this trend is extremely challenging, given the expected increase in global population, and as developing countries adapt consuming patterns resembling those of the USA and Europe. It appears then, given the multi-faceted disadvantages of landfilling, that thermal treatment will become the dominant disposal option for the foreseeable future.
