No to waste incinerator for Cardiff

Wed 11th Nov 09 — Chris

Waste company Viridor has announced plans to build a massive incinerator in Cardiff Bay to dispose of our rubbish.

If approved, it would:

  • be capable of burning three times as much rubbish as Cardiff sends to landfill sites every year
  • take waste from across south Wales
  • discourage more efforts to increase recycling and composting

Ask for EU recycling targets

The European Union is currently reviewing its main waste law, the Waste Framework Directive. There is a disagreement between the European Parliament and the EU member states over what should be in it.
