The incentive to develop resource recovery is the pressure that municipalities are under to find better ways of getting rid of garbage. Burning not only reduces the volume (by as much as 90%), but it also offers the possibility of the production of energy whose sale can be used to offset the cost of collecting the garbage. Suitable markets for resource-recovery facilities are direct sale of steam to a local industrial plant, district heating, and electric-power generation and sale to an electric utility.
