January 2008: Don't waste waste, it is a resource

European associations present Waste-to-Energy and the role it plays in sustainable waste management

In light of revision of  the Waste Framework Directive, ASSURRE,  FEAD, ISWA, Euroheat&Power as well as CEWEP joined forces to highlight Waste-to-Energy's role in sustainable waste management.

To coincide with the second reading of the Waste Framework Directive in the European Parliament, we have up-dated this paper.

Modern Waste-to-Energy technology deserves a balanced debate, bearing in mind the contribution it can deliver in both environment and energy policy.

The aim of this paper is to try to dispel the myths surrounding Waste-to-Energy by attempting to present factual answers to the concerns about incineration that are most often brought forward in the political debate in the hope that we can then, together, focus on the best ways forward as regards promoting truly sustainable waste management priorities and practices.
