a showcase of the potential of harnessing heat energy.\u003cbr/\u003eWaste management and recycling have long been problems for most, if not all, of the  world's cities.\u003cbr/\u003eNow the Tokyo metropolitan government is leading the way to solve at least some of  these problems.\u003cbr/\u003eJapan built its largest waste incinerator here on Yumenoshima (or \"Dream Island\") - a  waste landfill site in the Tokyo Bay area.\u003cbr/\u003eAlmost two thousand tonnes of combustible waste are fed into this Tokyo incinerator  every day, around the clock. \u003cbr/\u003eThis is one of 14 similar plants throughout the Japanese capital, designed to cope with  the growing waste disposal problem.\u003cbr/\u003eThe waste needs to be sorted into combustibles and incombustibles. \u003cbr/\u003eWaste products such as plastics, rubber and leather generate harmful gases and are  taken to landfill sites instead. \u003cbr/\u003eThe rest is burnt.\u003cbr/\u003eThe scorching temperatures inside the furnace generates the energy necessary to drive  steam turbines which in turn produce electricity and heat.\u003cbr/\u003eThis method is at the forefront of Japan's drive to create a cleaner environment. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (Japanese)\u003cbr/\u003e\"About 18-thousand tonnes of garbage is brought here everyday, here at this plant we  can boil 150 tonnes of water per hour (to make steam)\".\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Mitsui Morimoto -

not only from  the Tokyo metropolitan government. \u003cbr/\u003eThe funding and resourcing of such projects is not cheap. \u003cbr/\u003eThe construction of this project cost 26 (m) million US dollar.\u003cbr/\u003eThe underlying theme of this beauty is the recycling of waste.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (Japanese)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Lots of children visit the incineration plant first and then come to this glass house.
