9. Sustainability
We would need FOUR planets if every
one consumed as much as the
average American
We would need TWO planets if every
one consumed as much as the
average European
Meanwhile, India, China etc. are
copying our consumption patterns
Something has got to change and the
best place to start is with waste

22. Arguments against incineration
1) It is not sustainable
2) It is a poor economic investment. Most
of the money spent will leave PR
Incineration is the MOST expensive way
of handling waste
Incineration is the SECOND MOST
expensive way of producing electricity
25. The Brescia incinerator
cost 300,000,000 Euro
plus another
500,000,000 Euros in
subsidies and has
created just 80 jobs.
26. Nova Scotia, Canada (video)
50% diversion in 5 years (1995-2000).
(Halifax ~ 60%)
1000 jobs created collecting and treating
discarded materials
Another 2000 jobs created in the
industries handling the collected material
27. Arguments against incineration
4) Incineration is very unpopular with the
public
In the US over 300 incinerator proposals
defeated between 1985-95
No new trash incinerator permitted in the
US since 1995!
29. Incineration stifles innovation
• “ An incinerator needs to be fed
for about 20 to 30 years and in
order to be economic needs an
enormous input from quite a
region, so for 20 to 30 years you
stifle innovation, you stifle
alternatives, just in order to feed
that monster which you build”
• Ludwig Kraemer, former Head of EU Waste
Management, BBC 1 Panorama Documentary
“Rubbish”

32. Arguments against incineration
7) It generates a toxic ash - It
doesn’t get rid of landfills
For every four tons of waste
burned you get one ton of ash
(or more)
That nobody wants!

If any link is weak the public is not protected?
41. Arguments against incineration
9) Incineration is poorly monitored
In the US monitoring of dioxins has been a
sick joke
There is no regulation or monitoring of
nanoparticles
42.
43. Nanoparticle problems
Not easily captured by air pollution
control devices
Nanoparticles from incineration far
more dangerous than other
nanoparticles
They travel long distances
Remain suspended for long periods
of time
44. •We Know that PM10 and PM2.5
cause many health problems
PM 10
• In urban areas both
mortality and morbidity
increase with particulate
levels
•The smaller the particles
the worse it gets
PM 2,5
45. Nano particles are
so small they
can easily cross
the lung membrane
BLOOD
46. Nano Pathology
Once nanoparticles
have entered the
bloodstream they can
easily cross the
membranes of every
tissue in the body.

50. I have yet to see a documented
scientific response to either Cormier’s
paper
or
Professor Vyvyan Howard’s testimony
from
Any regulatory agency
Any incinerator builder
or
Any consultant promoting incineration
51. Meanwhile, while we are waiting for the
science, common sense says:
Don’t build incinerators in air sheds,
which have already been compromised
by particulate pollution, i.e. where
respiratory problems are already high
53. “Even if we made incineration safe we
would never make it sensible.
It simply does not make sense to
spend so much money destroying
resources we should be sharing with
the future.” (PC)
54. The modern incinerator is
attempting to perfect a bad idea
Our task in the 21st Century is not to
find better ways to destroy discarded
materials
But to stop making packaging and
products that have to be destroyed!
55. The Waste problem will not be
solved with better technology
But with
Better organization
Better education
and better industrial design
56. Arguments against incineration
10) There is a far better alternative strategy,
which is cheaper, creates more jobs and
business opportunities, does not create a toxic
ash and is sustainable.

63% waste diverted by 2004
70% waste diverted by 2008
72% waste diverted by 2009
75% waste diverted by 2010
GOAL:100% by 2020 (or very close!)
83. Italy
Over 2000 communities in Italy
are achieving over 50%
diversion using “door to door”
collection systems
Over 200 communities
achieving over 70% diversion
84. Italy
Novara - (a city near Turin,
population = 100,000)
achieved 70% diversion in just
18 months!

TASKS:
Improve capture rate of recyclables etc.
Collect best practices on waste
avoidance/reduction measures
Develop local uses for some materials
Recommend better industrial
designs to industry on packaging
and products
122. The Message to
Industry:
• If we can’t reuse it, recycle it or compost
it,
• Industry shouldn’t be making it
• We need better industrial design for the
21st Century

126. Industrial Responsibility
1. Design for sustainability
2. Clean production
3. Extended Producer Responsibility
(EPR)
(government incentives would help here)
127. Conclusions
We do not need mega-landfills or
incinerators!
There is a better alternative
The ZERO WASTE strategy is
Better for our health (LESS TOXICS)
Better for the economy,
Better for our children, and
Better for the planet (MORE
SUSTAINABLE)!
128. Please Note
Mass burn incineration only gets
75% diversion from landfill.
For every 4 Tons of waste burned
you get at least 1 Ton of Toxic Ash.
