The methods involved under this are incineration, gasification, pyrolysis, and many more.

- The waste can be primarily treated to form the fuel source as well. It produces a combustible fuel such as ethanol, methanol, or other synthetic fuels.
- Incineration is the burning of organic material present in waste, resulting in formation of energy. It was earlier mostly used to treat municipal solid waste.
- There are some thermal technologies such as gasification, pyrolysis, thermal depolymerization, etc.
- Some of the non-thermal technologies for waste treatment include fermentation, anaerobic digestion, etc.
