Photo by lucalocatelliphoto  This futuristic architecture is the home of Copenhagen's Amager Bakke, which claims to be the world’s cleanest waste-to-energy plant. It was designed by architect Bjarke Ingels, who incorporated a ski slope and a hiking path on its roof, turning the plant into a public gathering space. The plant can burn through 70 tons of trash each hour, producing hot water and energy for 120,000 households in the city, and its filtration system clears the pipe discharge of pollutants. 

Amager Bakke is one of the subjects of my cover story in the March issue of the magazine, called on "The End of Trash." Can technologies like this help us solve our waste issues en route to a circular economy?
