Energy recovery and incineration
Switzerland: Energy ecobalance from waste incineration. USA: Toxics reductions from municipal waste combustors locked in by US-EPA. Thermal Treatment of Waste and Sustainability: An Evaluation Using The Natural Step FrameworkDioxin Emissions to Air from many UK sources now negligibleStudy demonstrates environmental and economic performance of PVC incineration in a large municipal waste incineratorSolid residues from Municipal Waste Incinerators in England and WalesPVC total incineration cost similar to other high calorific waste productsDioxin formation in municipal incinerators not related to PVC; chlorine presence shown to be subordinate to other variations in the process such as combustion efficiencyThe negative perception of PVC incineration is not supported by scientific, financial or ecological evidenceStudy concludes on non-impact of plastics on incinerator?s pollutant emissions
