Ep. 6 Waste-to-Energy: Transforming Today’s Trash into Tomorrow’s Power

Описание: What if the trash we throw away every day could power our homes tomorrow?

In this episode of Powering the Process, host Jen Little sits down with Ashley Doyal, Vice President of the South Region and Central & South America at ProcessBarron, to explore how waste-to-energy technology is transforming municipal waste into usable electricity.

Ashley breaks down how waste-to-energy plants work, why they’re heavily regulated, and how modern air pollution control systems make them cleaner than many people expect. From reducing landfill dependency to supporting the circular economy, this conversation dives deep into the engineering, operations, and real-world impact of turning garbage into power.

With the U.S. producing more waste than any other country, waste-to-energy is becoming a critical part of the future of sustainable industrial manufacturing — and ProcessBarron is helping make it possible.
