Environmental impact of residual waste management technologies

The Aim of this project is to determine the environmental impact (including carbon) of the different treatment options for municipal-type residual waste that cannot be mechanically recycled, covering conventional energy from waste (EfW), landfill and newer thermal treatment technologies like gasification and pyrolysis. Better evidence of the impacts associated with different treatment technologies (and their products) will allow us to: - develop our approach to EfW, landfill, ATT/ACT and wider waste policies - help steer future infrastructure and investment needs - update the 'Guide to the debate' or other policy statements that might set the direction for treatment of residual waste …
