# The Recycling and Economic Development Initiative of South Africa says the country generates millions of tonnes of uncollected waste annually, missing a key opportunity to convert waste into energy. According to Redisa, waste-to-energy plants could generate 100 MeggaWatts per two-million tonnes of waste collected. The organisation says with 37-percent of households lacking waste collection, this solution could lead to potential job creation and economic growth while tackling waste pollution and energy shortages.
