Incinerators
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent assessment his Department has made of the role of waste incineration capacity in the management of residual wastes in England.
Answered by Mary Creagh
The Government is committed to creating a roadmap to a circular economy, a future where we keep our resources in use for longer, waste is reduced, we accelerate the path to net zero, we see investment in critical infrastructure and green jobs, our economy prospers, and nature thrives. As part of this we will consider the role of residual waste treatment, including energy from waste and landfill, in the context of circularity, economic growth, and reaching net zero.
