What proportion of waste for incineration is municipal/industrial waste?
There are four existing/planned incinerators in Hampshire. Three are municipal waste incinerators recovering energy by way of electricity generation. The plant at Chineham near Basingstoke is operational and the other two (at Marchwood near Southampton and in Portsmouth) are under construction and due to be commissioned in 2005. The three incinerators have a combined capacity of 460,000 tonnes. This is equivalent to 51% of current municipal waste arisings (the vast majority of which is household waste). The other incinerator is a long established hazardous waste incinerator at Fawley with a capacity of 30 000 tonnes per annum.
