What is the authorities’ policy on incineration?
Implementation Action 6B of the draft revised strategy sets out the partners’ proposed new approach. Question 2 of the consultation asks if you agree with the revisions to the policies and implementation actions in the strategy. 6.B – The best option for North London will involve achievement of 50% recycling and composting rates by 2020, with treatment of the residual waste not being landfilled provided initially through the existing Energy from Waste incineration facility, and later through processing capacity, giving preference to advanced conversion technologies, especially where the products of waste treatment could be used as fuels, that are the best overall option taking account of net environmental impact, deliverability, reliability and affordability, looking at implied collection services too.
