Waste-energy-climate nexus perspective towards circular economy: A mini-review

Population growth requires high demand for vast resources, which includes energy and the consumption of goods. With this strangling situation, many developing countries – including Malaysia, need to face other associated issues such as waste generation as well as climate change. To survive this daun...

To survive this daunting scenario, a smart alternative known as Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technology emerges as a viable solution to overcome these contemporary challenges.
