Is residual waste treatment used else where?
Many UK authorities are addressing the problem of residual waste. Energy from Waste and other energy recovery processes have been used extensively in Europe and Scandinavia for some time. Denmark, the Netherlands, France and Sweden treat at least 25% of waste through energy from waste schemes. Mechanical Biological Treatment is also used extensively in Europe, with plants in Germany, Italy and Austria and the technology is becoming more popular in the UK.
