Waste reduction reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, thereby extending their lifespan and reducing the need for new landfills.

Composting is the natural process of breaking down organic matter into a nutrient-rich soil amendment.

Incineration is a waste management process that involves burning waste materials to generate energy.

Anaerobic digestion is the process of converting organic waste into biogas through the action of microorganisms in the absence of oxygen.

Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that converts waste plastics into valuable fuels or chemicals through heating in the absence of oxygen.

Mechanical separation is the process of separating different materials from a waste stream based on their physical properties, such as size, shape, or density.

Gasification is a thermochemical process that converts organic waste into a clean-burning fuel, such as syngas, through heating in the presence of oxygen or steam.

Fermentation is the process of converting organic waste into a liquid fuel, such as bioethanol or biodiesel, through the action of microorganisms.

Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that converts waste biomass into a clean-burning fuel, such as biochar, through heating in the absence of oxygen.

Hydrolysis is the process of converting organic waste into a nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer through the action of microorganisms in the presence of water.

Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that converts waste plastics into valuable chemicals or materials, such as monomers or carbon fiber, through heating in the absence of oxygen.
