New Way Trucks and Hyzon are leading the charge in sustainable waste management by partnering to develop and test hydrogen fuel cell electric refuse vehicles (FCEVs). These trucks are proving to be a viable and efficient alternative to traditional diesel-powered trucks, offering longer ranges, higher payloads, and zero emissions. With ongoing trials in North America and Australia, this innovative technology is poised to revolutionize the refuse industry.
India has reached its ‘plastic overshoot day’ on April 23, indicating that the country has exhausted its capacity to manage the plastic waste generated in the year. According to Swiss non-profit EA Earth Action, this means that any plastic bag used after this date will likely end up polluting the environment. The overshoot day for the world is September 5, while developed countries like the US have it much later on December 11.
The global waste to energy market is expected to witness steady growth, driven by the increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions and the need to reduce carbon emissions. Europe is at the forefront of this market, with significant investments in waste-to-energy technologies. This market offers a solution to managing waste streams, transforming them into valuable energy sources, and mitigating environmental impact.
