The European Union has set targets for countries to recycle 65% of municipal waste and reduce rates of landfill to 10%, by 2035.

"We argued that of course we should recycle, then we should reuse. So there was no reason for constructing such a big incinerator."

Going beyond the technologies themselves, The Nexus sheds light on the possible long-term and compounding impacts these technologies are bringing to our cities.

"2016: Already one of the best drone makers on the marketplace, DJI’s Phantom 4 introduced smart computer vision and machine learning technology. This allowed it to avoid obstacles and intelligently track (and photograph) people, animals, or objects — rather than being limited to following a GPS signal. The resulting UAV was a major milestone for drone photography and consumer drones in general."

CEWEP's managing director, Ella Stengler, says not all waste can be recycled effectively. "For this part of the waste, rather then sending it to landfill, the best and most sustainable treatment of the waste is to turn it into energy, into electricity and heat for cities, for homes and industries."

Up to 300 truckloads of waste arrive at the plant each day, from households and businesses across the metropolitan area. It is the rubbish left over after Copenhagen's waste has been sorted for recycling.

However as an energy source, it's not particularly effective. "You're talking about something that has about the third of the energy content compared with wood. And considerably less compared with fossil fuels. So you have to burn a lot of stuff to produce much energy," says Mr Jones.

The plant is run by waste management firm, Amager Resource Centre (ARC) and owned by five local municipalities, while engineering firms Babcock and Wilcox Vollund built the main infrastructure for the plant.

It is a series of advanced filters that ARC claims makes this facility cleaner than others. Particles and pollutants from the smoke are removed, and a process called Selective Catalytic Reduction breaks down harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) into nitrogen and water vapour.

While it is greener than burning fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, he adds: "As we move on to a greater share of renewables in the electricity mix, the case for incineration gets weaker."

ARC is importing waste from abroad to feed the giant furnaces. By 2024, it forecasts that almost half of the material it burns will be imported waste and biomass.

In Europe, Nordic countries (except for Iceland) have the highest proportion of waste used to generate electricity, resulting in low uses of landfill, according to the Confederation of European Waste to Energy Plants (CEWEP).

"Coming out of the stack is nitrogen, which is also in the air, there's a little leftover oxygen, some water vapour and then carbon dioxide," says Mr Blinksbjerg.

"To be totally honest, I don't even think about it - that it's waste," says Cecilie Sjoeberg, who has lived in the area for five years.

"There are better ways to produce energy than burning waste. They use a lot of plastic because plastic is calorific, and paper and wood also. All those are recyclable if they are separately collected," says Piotr Barczak, from the European Environmental Bureau in Brussels.

"2006: Recognizing the potential of non-military, non-consumer drone applications, the FAA issued the first commercial drone permits. These permits lifted some of the limitations placed on consumer drones flown for recreational purposes. In doing so, it opened up new possibilities for companies or professionals who wanted to use drones in assorted business ventures. At first, barely any commercial drone permits are requested. However, that number soon ramped up."

Burning waste creates carbon dioxide emissions. However it is argued that the methane emitted from landfill has a much higher greenhouse effect than the same volume of CO2.

Extra precautions had to be in place, before the public could be allowed to ski above the incinerator and high-pressure steam system.

He argues that emissions from incineration are lower. "So in taking waste from the UK to here, we're reducing the greenhouse effect."

Amager Bakke is billed as one of the cleanest waste-to-energy plants in the world, thanks to technology that filters its emissions.

"A power plant doesn't have to be some kind of ugly box that blocks the views or casts shadows on its neighbours. It can actually be, maybe the most popular park in a city," Mr Ingels tells me enthusiastically.

Two huge furnaces burn the waste at temperatures of around 1,000C. "You have water coming in to these vaults," explains ARC's chief engineer Peter Blinksbjerg. "We boil the water and produce steam."

Bakke means hill in Danish. For a country whose highest point is a mere 170m (550ft), the new 85m summit has become a landmark and has also stirred debate about how best to handle the city's waste.

With high costs and early technical issues, the plant has not been problem-free. The main criticism is that it is simply too big and there isn't enough local waste to feed the huge furnaces.

"With the current situation with climate change, we have to look at any facility that generates CO2 - including incineration."

His firm is behind the design of a new artificial ski slope in Denmark's capital Copenhagen, built on the roof of a huge incinerator that burns waste to produce heat and electricity.

It is also a revenue earner. "It's pretty much the only fuel where people will actually pay you to burn it," says Peter Jones from environmental consultancy, Eunomia.

"1907: The world’s first quadcopter was created by inventor brothers Jacques and Louis Bréguet, working with controversial Nobel Prize winner Professor Charles Richet. While undoubtedly exciting, it had some big limitations: being unsteerable, requiring four men to steady it, and — in its first flight — lifting just two feet off the ground. But it did innovate the quadcopter form factor we have today."

Soon skiers will be able to whizz down the 450m slope that wraps around the aluminium-clad building. Around 50-60,000 skiers are expected each year.

"It has never been constructed in a size which fitted the waste in the the five municipalities in Copenhagen," says Jens Peter Mortensen, an environmental expert at The Danish Society for Nature Conservation.
