And, the impacts are far-reaching as well. A number of the emitted substances from waste incineration are considered the “worst of the worst”— “Chemical recycling” is not recycling “Conversion technologies,” “chemical conversion,” and most forms of “advanced recycling” and “ Paper, for example, can be recycled many times (on average, 7-12 times for higher quality paper types), each time with savings in energy, materials (trees), water, and pollution compared to creating paper from virgin material. And, composting organic materials directs nutrients and carbon back into the ground, where they increase soil health, reduce reliance on chemically-derived fertilizers, and improve water and nutrient retention. Recycling Of course, the best way to reduce harmful impacts from waste is to produce less waste. But “waste to energy” systems rely on significant quantities of waste to run, which disincentivizes waste reduction.

Recent Examples on the Web Hospitals have been bombed, factories producing everything from baby food and nutritional supplements to Coca-Cola razed, and aid warehouses and food markets looted, then incinerated. — Hafiz Haroun, Washington Post, 9 June 2023 The largest species for which our region is best known are disappearing: aging out, dying from disease such as fusarium (a fungus), palm weevil infestation or incinerated by wildfires. — Dirk Sutro, San Diego Union-Tribune, 4 June 2023 Only around 9% of plastics are recycled globally each year, with the rest ending up in landfill or incinerated. — Laura Paddison, CNN, 16 May 2023 In testimony before a state Senate committee on March 16, Grand Fire Protection District Chief Brad White recounted how the 193,812-acre East Troublesome Fire in 2020 traveled 25 miles overnight and incinerated 366 homes, so far costing $720 million. — Jennifer Oldham, ProPublica, 15 May 2023 When plastic is not recycled, it is landfilled, incinerated or left as litter. — Jake Frederico, The Arizona Republic, 21 Apr. 2023 Our identities are completely called into question and incinerated by this new role and responsibility, so there’s an even deeper compulsion to find what there is to say, to plant the flag and find some turf. — Emma Madden, Vulture, 10 Apr. 2023 Those cats were then euthanized, sometimes just a few weeks later, and incinerated to avoid spreading the infection. — Bycatherine Offord, science.org, 31 Mar. 2023 Within seconds, six m...
