Article Synopsis
- The amount of garbage produced around the world has gone up by 60% recently.
- Burning this garbage (called incineration) helps reduce its size and can also create energy, but it produces hazardous ashes that can harm the environment.
- A new study shows a way to safely turn these ashes into useful glass-like materials using a process called vitrification, which is better for the environment when using certain types of materials.
