Concern for the environment. Worry about building more energy from waste incinerators when current legislation will lead to less residual waste and therefore an overcapacity of incineration facilities. There should be a moratorium on new incinerators until future incineration capacity is fully examined. Food waste will soon be collected seperately and should mainly be anaerobically digested to provide biogas and compost, thereby greatly reducing residual waste destined for incineration or landfill. EfW incineration should be a worst option as it is high carbon and causes air pollution. We should be looking to reducing incineration not expanding.
