Summary/Abstract: This paper is a short review of possible waste treatments with energy reuse and presents plasma technology, currently the most sophisticated technological solution for the waste treatment. The paper is based on the operating experience from the developed countries and the results of the existing research. Serbia will have big requests in future, regarding the integrations in the European Union and national strategic milestones. The conclusion of this review stresses that we should give the special attention to plasma technology, since the biggest disadvantage of this technology in the past, huge investment, has been solved with new achievements.
