Students firstly visited the Solid Waste Sorting Facility and received a comprehensive introduction on how the waste is sorted and processed.

Later on, a representative of the Solid Waste Incineration Plant conducted a structured presentation and explained the process in detail – after sorting facility, the waste is burned and the plant transforms heat energy to electric energy. Students were eventually taken to the plant to see the process in place.
