We have unique platform that gather over one thousand technical papers published in the proceedings of the North America WTE Conferences (NAWTEC) since 1965 that are not any more available in print.
Go SearchThe Waste-to-Energy Research and Technology Council (WtERT) lead by Earth Engineering Centre from Columbia University in New York. Is an international top-tier-technical group that brings together engineers, scientists, and managers from industry, universities and government with the objective of advancing the goals of sustainable waste management on a global scale.
The primary aim of the Canadian sister organization of WTERT is the acceleration of deployment of Waste-to-Energy in all the provinces. While Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands are the leading countries relating to a sustainable waste management, with a low landfilling rate of 4 % due to a high thermal recovery and recycling rate, Canada still far behind and currently affected by a high waste disposal rate with shortage of their capacity adding the Chinese National Sword policy that restricted and banned imports of Canadian solid wastes as raw materials and plastic in China.
We want to change this by promoting energy and material recovery from waste, improve people’s understanding of Waste-to-Energy utilization by sharing expertise, disseminate credible information based on science, building capacity and providing advice & support so that this vital technology can play its part in achieving Zero Waste to Landfill and fight climate change.

How Waste-To-Energy Works?
A waste-to-energy plant converts solid waste into electricity and/or heat – an ecological, cost-effective way of energy recovery.
