New way to destroy rubbish by using plasma?

Question

i saw a programme saying that they feed rubbish to a plasma flame/torch it then gets broken down into its original atoms. it was on discovery channel or discovery sci. i cant remember the name of the technique that uses the plasma torch, i have tried Google but i cant find it.

the programme name i cant remember but i can remember that it was talking about sewage water being filtered by thin strands of plastic wire with tiny holes in them. and the title screen was mainly green.

any ideas of the programme name or the technique for the rubbish destroyer.

thanks

Hello,

The technique or term you are looking for is Plasma Gasification. This is a wonderfully new technology that can not only remove landfill waste,  in some high efficiency facilities they can actually generate more energy than they consume.

A great company that is doing this is called Plasco Energy Group. See the link below for more info.
