\nThe project aims to generate electricity, recover valuable materials, and reduce waste volume.<\/p>\n
\nThe project raises concerns about air pollution, harmful emissions, and their impact on public health.<\/p>\n
\nLocal communities feel marginalized in the decision-making process and express concerns over the project’s financial and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n
\nWhile useful, such technologies should be coupled with robust air pollution control measures and sustainable waste management practices.<\/p>\n
\nEmphasis should be placed on waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting alongside innovative and eco-friendly technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
