Decontamination of Municipal Solid Waste for Conversion
Size Reduction and Washing of Municipal Solid Waste for Conversion into Biofuel
Problem Statement
Problem Statement
Municipal solid waste (MSW) often derives from single-use products which flood landfills worldwide. After disposal, MSW decomposes and produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. These products use nonrenewable resources and their potential value is depleted when discarded. To prolong the material’s life cycle and reduce emissions, size reduction combined with decontamination presents opportunity for alternative use. Currently, no single system efficiently integrates these operations.
