Resource recovery facilities generate power from waste incineration instead of fossil fuels at existing thermal power plants. The thermal reuse of waste is not only the safest method, but also the most environmentally friendly method for dealing with waste disposal. Residue from incineration can be reused or disposed of without generating hazardous waste materials.
