Burning rubbish in factories is another way to cut out waste.Burning reduces 95% ofthe waste.And if poisonous materials are removed,and burning is completed at controlledtemperatures,it's possible to do so without causing too much pollution.Some factories couldeven produce electricity from the burning process.
Not all of the rubbish can be burned,so we have to separate(分类) it before we burn it.
However,separation costs a lot of money.Another problem with burning rubbish is thatwhat is left after burning is poisonous.How to safely deal with it is a continuing problem.
Before the mid20th century,landfills were the main way to deal with waste.In the late20th century,other ways like recycling have been introduced to help reduce global pollution.
