– Joint Regional Partnership Proposals for theProcurement of a Sustainable Residual Waste Treatment Solution

ENVIRONMENTAL SCRUTINY COMMITTEE: 10 JULY 2007
The strategy clearly identified a need for a residual waste treatment facility
[that is an INCINERATOR] in order for the targets to be met and for punitive landfill tax and infractionpenalties to be avoided.
There is NO NEED for this facility
The recovery of energy from residual waste that is derived after the separation of recyclable or compostable materials have been removed,this material can then be used for energy recovery through thermal treatment and for further recovery of recyclables;
THERMAL TREATMENT = INCINERATOR!
A Dying Technology
The plan would tie the council into a contract to supply waste for incineration - creating a legally binding disincentive to improving recycling - and discourage further investment in genuinely renewable energy production. Investment in recycling provides five times as many jobs as are displaced from landfill and incineration.
