Incinerators' incentives are to burn, not to recycle
|
10.6.2013 |
MinnPost |
| In Shawn Lawrence Otto’s Community Voices commentary, “ Waste-to-energy technology is cleaner and safer than generally believed ,” he acknowledges "maximum recycling effort should be put in to remove all recycables and compostables before the remaining waste is disposed of in a landfill or a WTE facility." Agreed. However, when he states, "Evidence shows recycling and WTE are complementary," I ask: What evidence? I have yet to be presented an incinerator contract that includes "maximized" recycling, or any significant recycling other than the removal of "white goods."
If you read the contracts of the two companies that operate the 89 facilities in the U.S., you'll find incentives to burn in order to increase electricity production. Also, the service operator can receive additional payments (what I have termed "burning bonuses") if additional material is "processed," aka burned. Within the contracts there are no processes (nor incentives) to recover recyclable material.

Waste-to-energy technology is cleaner and safer than generally believed
|
6.6.2013 |
MinnPost |
| When we think of climate-change deniers, Tea Partiers and Republicans often come to mind. But some of the most troubling stumbling blocks to reducing greenhouse gases come from urban liberals and left-leaning environmental groups who oppose burning municipal solid waste to produce energy.
In California, when new waste-to-energy plants (WTEs) are proposed , they run into buzz saws of liberal opposition . Plans to increase the volume of waste burned at a Minneapolis WTE facility have been blocked for four years , and the issue recently divided the Democratic candidates for mayor. From New York to Massachusetts to Rhode Island to Pennsylvania to Maine , opposition has delayed or stopped WTE plants across the nation , largely in liberal-controlled urban areas.
But the opposition is misguided. Today's waste-to-energy plants are not your granddaddy's trash burners, and some liberal groups, like the Center for American Progress , are starting to look at the actual science and reevaluate long-held ... |
