        abstract = {As of now, the problem of MSW processing and disposal is a globally pressing one. The main components of MSW are: paper and cardboard (25–30% of total wastes volume); organic wastes (including food, 26–35%); metal and glass (5–12%); plastic (7–10%); wood, textiles and rubber (2–4% of each).  Thus,  the  content  of  energy-yielding  fractions  (cardboard,  paper,  wood,  textile,  polymer wastes)  is  about  82%  of  the  total  volume  of  MSW.  Annually, 1.3–1.6 billion tons of such wastes are generated globally. About 75% of municipal wastes are not reclaimed or processed. Instead, they are  stockpiled  at  landfill  sites  where  they  undergo  slow  thermal  decomposition  thus  polluting  the environment. According to experts, the impact of such wastes on the environment is comparable to that of coal-fired thermal power plants and automotive vehicles for some indicators.
Thus the aim of this review paper “to evaluate a power plant's performance when co-firing using various percentage of replacement with Municipal Solid Waste” on the basis of previous study
