The EU has consistently seen an annual increase of approximately 8 million tonnes in waste incineration capacity from 2004 to 2020. 60 million tonnes of additional waste incineration capacity was spent unused in 2020 alone. By 2023, the total capacity may have soared to around 220 million tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>The hurdle in downsizing incineration capacity arises from its privileged position within the waste hierarchy, a system that sets the order of preference for waste management methods. The report asserts that this preference is largely \u201cideological\u201d, highlighting that the decision-making process regarding decommissioning of facilities would be made easier if not for this privileged spot.<\/p>\n<p>Urgent EU-level coordination is imperative to confront the mounting incineration capacity problem and ensure responsible waste management practices. A re-evaluation of incineration\u2019s role in the waste hierarchy is proposed, with potential reclassification as a disposal operation. The report calls for a reconsideration of the 10% landfill quota, especially for properly treated residual waste.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recycling-magazine.com\/2023\/09\/26\/report-calls-for-eu-wide-moratorium-on-waste-incinerators\/\">Recycling Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-405\/\">Report calls for EU-Wide moratorium on waste incinerators<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,274,11619],"class_list":["post-117200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu","tag-waste-incinerator"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117200\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
