By processing waste into clean energy sources, we can reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions.<br /><br />These processes include:<br /><br />Biogas production from organic waste (e.g., food and agricultural residues).<br /><br />Biofuel creation from recycled oils and fats.<br /><br />Thermal and electric energy generation through controlled waste incineration.<br /><br />This approach is an innovative environmental solution, as it combines safe waste disposal with the generation of clean energy. It also strengthens the concept of a circular economy, where waste is transformed into valuable resources.<br /><br />In doing so, recycling plays a dual role in environmental protection and providing sustainable energy for communities.<br /><br />"Al-Mustaqbal University – The No. 1 Private University in Iraq"<br />
