Labour: fighting for you across Croydon and Sutton

 

alternatives to incineration

Our No Incinerator campaign has been getting a lot of people rattled in all sorts of places!

We never said saying NO to an incinerator is an 'easy option'. It is the exact opposite!

What could be easier than collecting all the waste from Croydon residents and taking it to Beddington (the likely site) and burning it?

Groups like Greenpeace have done a lot of work on Incineration and alternatives. Their body of work can be found here.

Juniper Consulting has a technology review of the alternatives with links to explanations of the various technologies.

The current Conservative Croydon Council currently sends 74% of its waste to landfill

Labour says we must be far more serious about the environment.

1) look at ways to reduce our waste stream
2) recycle far more
3) use greener technologies to treat waste and reuse it

Croydon Council makes recycling so difficult by collecting only some plastics and by only collecting recycling twice a month.

The Conservative Council has taken what it thought was the 'easy route' and asked commercial companies to build an Incinerator. It is important we stop them.
