Introduce a moratorium on new waste incinerators like in Scotland and Wales, and ban new permits and require existing permits to be revoked where substantial construction has not begun.

We think incinerators detract from reusing, reducing, and recycling waste. They pollute the areas in which they are built.

Government response

Government will only back waste incineration projects that meet strict conditions. New facilities will have to maximise efficiency, and support net zero and the move to a circular economy.
