The WCER TD focuses on increasing the profile of waste conversion and energy recovery within integrated waste management systems. Waste conversion and energy recovery technologies support increased recycling rates, generate clean energy and/or products, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and lower greenhouse gas emissions through the diversion of waste from landfills.
