Please see our zero waste page Incineration is the most expensive and polluting way to make energy or to manage (http://www.energyjustice.net/zerowaste) waste. It produces the fewest jobs compared to reuse, recycling and composting the for a wealth of information on these same materials. It is the dirtiest way to manage waste - far more polluting than alternatives. landfills. It is also the dirtiest way to produce energy - far more polluting than coal burning. Zero Waste is also a Climate Solution! Read the following reports for why incineration and landfill gas burning are NOT climate solutions, but zero waste strategies are!
