I was always thinking, could we combine incineration + plasma gasification? What if we burn the garbage, which results in a lot of heat + clean + noxious gases, and then we just pass the gases through plasma? That should take care of anything that is dangerous in the emissions, but also make it more efficient, because a lot of the mass has already burned, plasma doesn't have to go through that much material anymore

Isn't there more mass after burning, from the added oxygen?
