India's pursuit of sustainable waste management has witnessed notable technology advancements. Waste to energy technologies convert waste into energy carriers such as electricity and heat. Waste to energy solutions contribute to circular economy objectives by minimizing waste output and increasing efficiency in resource use. These processes encompass thermal techniques like combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis, along with biological methods including anaerobic digestion and landfill gas capture. Advantages of waste to energy include diverting waste from landfills, extracting valuable resources, producing renewable energy, and mitigating environmental impacts. Challenges such as public perception, technological innovation, cost-effectiveness, and integration with other waste management approaches should be considered for successful implementation. Achieving a sustainable and resource-efficient future requires embracing waste to energy technologies worldwide. By converting waste into energy and resources, waste to energy plays a crucial role in enabling the circular economy. India is now facing a huge garbage problem, creating an immediate demand for sustainable ways to curb environmental pollution and resource depletion. By combining sustainable waste management with energy recovery, waste to energy technologies offer a promising solution to move towards circular economy goals. The present paper analyses the existing scenario of waste pollution with vision of waste circularity. It explores the potential of waste to energy technologies in India, examines their environmental and economic implications, and highlights challenges and opportunities in their adoption.
