· Plastic solid waste (PSW) is derived from oil and has a recoverable energy, in some cases comparable to other energy sources. Direct incineration via one or two stage combustion technologies can certainly reduce the volume of PSW as well as the dependence on fossil fuels, which as a result can lead to a better conservation of natural resources and integrated waste management schemes.

· Solid-waste management, the collecting, treating, and disposing of solid material that is discarded because it has served its purpose or is no longer useful. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste can create unsanitary conditions, and these conditions in turn can lead to pollution of the environment and to outbreaks of vector-borne disease—that is, diseases spread by rodents and insects .
