Introduction
The climate crisis and waste problems are cited as the most pressing and urgent issues for citizens around the globe, including in South Korea, and calls for solutions. Solving these challenges presents a path towards a sustainable and carbon-neutral future.
Under the carbon-neutral era, there is a need to explore sustainable waste management solutions by developing waste-to-energy technologies and overcoming Not in My Back Yard (NIMBY) attitudes. Furthermore, the cooperation between the government, private companies, research institutes, civil society, and other members of society is needed; and the waste-to-energy technologies could play an important role to catalyze this cooperation.
The world is now in search for new markets to prepare to transition towards circular economy. In particular, companies seek sustainable waste management solutions and ESG management systems to realize carbon neutrality in our society. As people are at the core of these actions, creating jobs related to technology development is also essential. This could contribute to the achievement of sustainable waste management, greenhouse gas reduction, and creating momentum for economic growth.
