Burning rubbish in factories is another way to cut out waste.Burning reduces 95% ofthe waste.And if poisonous materials are removed，and burning is completed at controlledtemperatures，it's possible to do so without causing too much pollution.Some factories couldeven produce electricity from the burning process.
Not all of the rubbish can be burned，so we have to separate(分类) it before we burn it.
