Waste Policy and Incineration: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. Matthew Collins:
I also mentioned their continued reduction in landfill. We are continuing to eliminate and minimise all landfill. Some of the material from municipal waste is not to go to landfill in the future and thermal treatment is higher up the waste hierarchy, is completely in line with EU waste policy and has been endorsed by the European Commission. That is why we need more thermal treatment, so that we do not rely on landfills around the country.
