00:00Imagine a country where almost nothing goes to waste.
00:03In Sweden, nearly 99% of household trash is either recycled or transformed into energy.
00:10But the country's waste-to-energy plants need more waste than what Sweden alone can supply.
00:16To bridge this gap, Sweden imports nearly 1.3 million tons of waste from neighboring countries every year.
00:22The waste is then converted into energy, providing heat and electricity for more than a million Swedish households.
00:30In fact Sweden makes about $100 million a year just by taking other countries' waste.
00:36In India also similar program are in trial.
00:39Indian waste could potentially utilize up to 5,690 megawatt of power.
00:44The question now is, how soon can India turn its own trash into treasure?
