Consultation launched into incinerator permit draft decision https://www.gov.uk/government/news/consultation-launched-into-incinerator-permit-draft-decision
Ugh! Its an #EnergyRecoveryFacility, call it as such! #Incinerator holds such a bad taste in a headline these days. At least give them a chance. 🤷

Public meeting to be held over controversial #Irvine #Incinerator plans https://www.irvinetimes.com/news/25008950.public-meeting-called-irvine-incinerator-plans/
#BigBadger1 says "Uh oh! They called it an 'Incinerator'. Re-educate and change the perspective to #EFW or similar."

Residents 'disappointed' as rejected #Incinerator plans appealed https://buff.ly/40Yh0Ls
Stop calling them #Incinerators! Yes they #Incinerate, but call them #EnergyFromWastePlants or similar. Give them the positive stance rather than the #NIMBY rhetoric in the headlines.
#EFW

A new #enforcement framework targets states that have failed to enact their own plans for slashing #lead, #mercury and other #pollutants.

#Incinerator is least damaging choice, says council - BBC News https://buff.ly/49rmmTv
#BigBadger1 says it all depends on the waste they're basing the claims on.

#Parley waste site seeks to increase planned #Incinerator capacity https://buff.ly/4g3WijP

Whodathunkit!

There are plans in motion one of these up the road near Wisbech... generally very loudly opposed locally, and I think by all the local councils too, but forced through by Tories: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-65544767

Wonder if it'll ever go ahead. (I believe ground has been "broken" in terms of some site preparation.)

Victorian government Planning Minister denied an Environmental Effects statement necessary October 2023 for #Wollert Waste to Energy Incinerator, likely contravenes #BaselConvention. #Whittlesea Council is under administration so residents have no recourse to local Councillors. Residents worried Incinerator being railroaded on them.

Bear McCreary releases new single “Incinerator” featuring System of a Down’s Serj Tankian:

Local authorities plan to build an oversized waste incinerator right next to where I live. Please help the local population by signing this petition to fight against waste management policy from 80s putting health of populations at risk: https://www.mesopinions.com/petition/nature-environnement/mega-incinerateur-agglomeration-angouleme/205313

Amsterdam will import Rome’s trash and turn it into energy.

Rome doesn’t have the capacity to process and dispose of this trash. The incinerator commissioned by Rome won’t be operational until at least 2026.

🗑️ The deal is for a weekly shipment of 900 tons of trash.

🚂 It will be sent via 16-carriage cargo trains.

💰 Rome will pay 180,000 euros a week.
