Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

I know I will make myself very unpopular and lose votes when I say there is a case for incineration. I would like to see this country move to the highest possible level of recycling, which I think can be as high as 80% or 90%, but there will still be that intractable fraction. Other countries use incineration. Denmark is frequently cited and it has a considerable number of incinerators. Canada also has incinerators. Why not use the best available technology in this circumstance to get rid of waste?
