Waste disposal has been a challenge to developing countries mostly in Africa which has caused problems to the inhabitants and the environment they live in. But with the impact of technology various methods to combat waste has been put in place ranging from recycling to waste to energy either through bio process or incineration process.
The aim of this project was to show how an effective waste incineration plant can help to tackle the issue of waste disposal in developing countries, especially Calabar in Cross River State of Nigeria, to improve access to electricity and reduce pollution and help to reduce the case of malaria as it will eliminate breeding grounds for the mosquitoes which cause malaria.
The research was done to ascertain the amount of waste that could be gathered to ensure that the project will be profitable for the government to invest in. The findings obtained from the research proved that the project had benefits both financially and to the environment at large.
This project will serve as a wake-up call to other states in the country and they will follow this path to eliminate waste and have a pollution-free environment that is caused by an open waste site that exists within the cities.
