Application made in August 2015 (15/01072/WAM and 16/00297/WVARS) for a Small Waste Incineration Plant (SWIP) to burn waste sent to the Rochdale Road MRF (commercial and municipal waste arisings in the Calder Valley region). RENEWABLE OBLIGATIONS CERTIFICATES ENDS reported on the outcome of the Renewable Obligations Certificates (‘ROCs’) consultation in January 2009: The rest of the consultation response is dominated by technical changes to the obligation.

DIOXINS AND OTHER HARMFUL INCINERATOR EMISSIONS Dioxins are a family of 75 polychlorinated dibenzo- p -dioxins (PCDDs). This compound is one of the most toxic chemicals known, and is a known human carcinogen and endocrine disruptor. Similar chemicals are polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), of which there are 135. Other related compounds are polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), of which

FIREWORKS MYTH DEBUNKED The focus then shifts to fireworks, with the Environment Agency’s (as yet) unsubstantiated claim that “during the Millennial celebrations in London the emissions from one 15 minute, 35 ton firework display equalled 120 years of dioxin emissions from the SELCHP waste incinerator”. Sometimes this is even stretched to ‘prove’ that one DO INCINERATORS REQUIRE PLANNING PERMISSION BEFORE THE The answer is: No. Schedule 9 of the Environmental Permitting Regulations (see below for relevant section) means the EA cannot issue a permit for certain types of waste facility unless planning permission is in force.

FACTS & FIGURES

The South West regions have the lowest rates of incineration (30% and 35%) and the highest recycling rates (48% and 49%) London has the highest rate of incineration (63%) and the lowest rate of recycling (30%). In 4 of the 9 regions, councils are burning more than they recycle. In 7 of the 9 regions, to achieve a 65% recycling rate for

HEALTH ISSUES CONNECTED WITH INCINERATORS Health impacts arising from waste incineration is a contentious subject for many reasons (complexity, uncertainty, vested interests, the nature of the ‘scientific method’, difficulties ‘proving’ causal relationships, ‘confounding factors’ including other sources of pollution, etc.).
