Waste Ahoy: How Cruise Ships Utilize Their Waste at Sea

Indore is considered the cleanest city in India – a title otherwise only held by cities like Helsinki, Copenhagen or Singapore. In a country more commonly known as a waste hotspot, this metropolis shows how it’s done: With a clear vision, citizen participation and innovative strategies, waste becomes a resource. From Waste to Worth – a motto for the future, with great potential for both material and thermal recycling. Indore has been named the cleanest city in India multiple

For a stable energy supply, Waste-to-Energy should also be considered. The technology converts locally generated waste into reliable, regional energy. It operates independently of weather conditions and the import of fossil fuels, meaning it does not rely on potentially vulnerable supply chains and infrastructures. Waste-to-Energy therefore serves as a robust backup for security of supply. Modern plants can even operate in island mode to autonomously supply critical infrastru

What should be done with the more than 2 billion tons of waste generated worldwide every year[1]? A large portion of this waste is still disposed of in landfills and dumps, often finding its way into the natural environment. Yet waste is increasingly being recognized as a resource - and could make a significant contribution to meeting the growing demand for raw materials and energy. Valuable cargo: Non-recyclable or no longer recyclable waste is converted into a source of ene

Only 1 percent of Swedish waste ends up in landfills – a global top mark, compared to the average of 37 percent. Sweden recycles 99 percent of its waste, primarily through thermal conversion into electricity and heat. The system is so successful that the country even imports waste. By taking care of what society has thrown away and that cannot be recycled, Mälarenergi can heat the city, provide warm showers, supply cooling for hospitals and industry – and at the same time del

Burning waste saves lives. The reason: In healthcare and veterinary settings, enormous quantities of potentially infectious waste are generated every day. High-temperature incineration reliably destroys pathogens, toxins, and harmful substances. This interrupts infection chains and significantly reduces the risk of transmission. This is crucial for the future: as the global population grows, the risk of pandemics rises as well. High-temperature thermal treatment is a reliable
