Alongside strategies to reuse, recycle, repurpose and reduce, deriving power and heat from waste can play a valuable role in a nation's holistic and sustainable waste management policy.

Developers delivering these energy solutions, however, must overcome stringent environmental regulations as well as considerable technical challenges, as well as manage complex interfaces between multiple parties including the surrounding communities, investors, regulators and authorities providing the municipal waste feedstock (sometimes multiple streams) and other critical utility supplies.

With energy-from-waste (or waste-to-energy) projects often demanding bespoke design considerations, these projects require experience and knowledge that covers all technology areas available, expertise that is seldom maintained within utilities or independent power producers.
