Waste to Energy (WTE) plants are becoming popular as part of integrated solid waste management (SWM) plants. Say that for a particular location, a WTE plant is being proposed as part of an integrated SWM plan. The proponents of the WTE argue that recycling is not necessary and will have no effect on the performance of the plant.
Do you agree or disagree? Explain if you think recycling should be included or not as part of the components of the integrated SWM, for the WTE to perform better.
