The scale of the world's trash problem is staggering. Humans generate approximately 3.5 million tons of waste daily. With population growth and consumption rates climbing, that number is projected to triple by the end of the century. Unfortunately, many countries are stepping back from waste management responsibilities—most notably, China’s decision to cease accepting foreign trash has exacerbated the problem. This creates a pressing need for innovative solutions to handle mounting waste effectively.
