You may have heard about a miracle cure for plastic waste that creates green energy in the process—the mystical waste incinerator. We know how many people want to rid the world of plastic waste and shift to sustainable energy. But there really is no miracle cure for waste. It almost sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?
