Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) can be repurposed as useful raw material for new productive activities such as electricity generation. In Shanghai Puxi, Veolia converts environmental threats into synergy opportunities by combusting MSW, generating heat, which then makes steam that runs turbine generators, subsequently producing electricity. The Shanghai Jiangqiao MSW Incineration Plant has added a new dimension to current waste management, resulting in a substantial reduction in waste volume and a production of green energy.
