    From Landfill to Resource: How Waste-to-Energy Is Transforming Cities

    Landfills have long been the end of the road for waste. Today, they're becoming the starting point for transformation. What if instead of disposal, we saw energy, materials and opportunity. Today we're exploring how waste to energy is reshaping the global circular economy. Hosts Phil Dillard and Angie Dickson, President of Inogen Alliance, are joined by Sofiane Kessouar, Senior EHS Consultant for Baden Consulting in Switzerland and Meiling Xu, Senior EHS Consultant, from Anew Global Consulting in China. Guest Quotes“ It keeps surprising me that people from other region of the world often still seem to consider landfills an acceptable method of waste treatment, and that waste to energy seems somewhat utopian to them.  These plants don't just burn waste. They produce electricity and heat, often supplying homes or industry.” - Sofiane    In China, landfill sectors is in the rapid transition, hundreds of old sites, , being closed or mined for the west. As of 2023, the number of municipal waste landfill sites across the country has decreased from 640 in 2015 to 366. The closed sites are now transforming into equal parks, industrial parks, or other land usage after soil remediation and the land redevelopment.” - Meiling Time Stamps01:14 – Switzerland’s Waste-to-Energy Success 02:08 – China’s Rapid Waste Transition  05:02 – Misconceptions About Landfills & Incineration 08:27 – What Zero Waste Looks Like in Practice 12:06 – Waste-to-Energy in Europe’s Sustainability Strategy 14:54 – Innovation Spotlight: New Technologies in China 18:42 – Industrial vs. Household Sorting Challenges 23:26 – Aligning Global Corporate Waste Strategies Sponsor CopyRethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.
