“…This type of energy utilization can be done through biological processes or thermal processes. The characteristics of waste, the amount of generation and its composition mpact on the selection of management strategies [14] and on the availability of control technology [15]. So, it is necessary to analyze the composition and characteristics of the waste in advance determine the appropriate processing technology.…”

“…In high-income countries and cities, packaging waste, such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal, dominates the amount of waste, while developing countries have a higher fraction of organic matter, ranging from 40-85% of total waste [14] [19]. The calorific value is a laboratory test parameter to describe the heat contained in a material.…”

“…decades. An integrated system guarantees that SSWM production and consumption is promoted via public policies that invest in the expansion of environmentally friendly industries and that improve society's awareness of such issues with the aim of creating a recycling economy (Nguyen et al, 2020;Yeh et al, 2020). As an outcome, in 2020, 97.42% of the waste in Taiwan was incinerated, and the resource recovery rate reached 55.5%; indeed, only 2.58% of the country's waste was landfilled (Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration, 2020).…”

“…Nevertheless, Taiwan's waste treatment infrastructure is continuously strained despite the efficient operation of its waste minimization and resource recovery programs (Sung et al, 2020). Nguyen et al (2020) noted that various economic and social challenges are unobservably linked to each other, causing multicollinearity problems related to Taiwan's SSWM. Yeh (2020) proposed that structural changes in the community behavior of an economic system and solid waste disposal routines influence SSWM execution.…”

“…Rapid urbanization has witnessed an increasing generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) in developing countries [1]. China, as a developing country with a large population, produces over 400 million tons of MSW annually, which gives rise to a remarkable issue as "besieged by waste" [2].…”
