1 Incineration versus the Alternatives Paul Connett, PhD Executive Director AmericanHealthStudies.org (AEHSP) Oxfordshire, October 8, 2009
2 OUTLINE 1. Waste and the Big Picture 2. The arguments against incineration 3. The Zero Waste 2020 strategy 4. The Key Step Forward 5. Zero Waste Initiatives Around the World 6. Back to the Big Picture
3 4. The key step forward
4 Landfills & Incinerators attempt to make the residuals disappear
5 To move towards zero waste & sustainability we need to make the remaining residuals very visible
6 Residuals must not go directly to a landfill but to a residual separation facility built in front of the landfill
7 Residual Separation Facility
8 RESIDUAL SCREENING FACILITY MORE RECYCLABLES MORE TOXICS DIRTY ORGANIC FRACTION BIOLOGICAL STABILIZATION INTERIM LANDFILL
9 RESIDUAL SCREENING FACILITY Built in front of landfill Operating in Nova Scotia MORE RECYCLABLES MORE TOXICS DIRTY ORGANIC FRACTION BIOLOGICAL STABILIZATION INTERIM LANDFILL
10 A critical improvement on Nova Scotia
11 Insertion of a Research center
12 RESIDUAL SCREENING & RESEARCH FACILITY MORE RECYCLABLES MORE TOXICS DIRTY ORGANIC FRACTION NON-TOXIC, NON-BIODEGRADABLE FRACTION RESEARCH CENTER BIOLOGICAL STABILIZATION INTERIM LANDFILL
13 RESIDUAL SEPARATION & RESEARCH FACILITY NON-RECYCABLE MATERIALS Local University Or Technical College RESEARCH CENTER
14 Residual Separation & Research Facility
15 RESEARCH CENTER Improve capture rate of reusables, recyclables and clean compostables Recommend improved waste avoidance strategies by local businesses Develop some local uses for some materials Recommend better industrial designs to industry on packaging and products
16 The Message to Industry: If we can t reuse it, recycle it or compost it, Industry shouldn t be making it We need better industrial design for the 21st Century We cannot become sustainable without it
17 Nature makes no waste Because she uses FEEDBACK mechanisms A--B C D E F If F builds up because not being used then F will switch off the first enzyme controlling the first step of this process

23 The waste problem Is too important to be left to waste experts (which are usually engineers) We need all sectors involved if we are to move towards a sustainable society
24 Sustainability As far as sustainability is concerned the waste problem is a fabulous place to start Because everyone makes waste!

52 Industrial Responsibility 1. Design for sustainability 2. Clean production 3. Extended Producer Responsibility
53 Extended Producer Responsibilty - packaging The Ontario (Canada) Beer industry has been using refillable glass bottles for 50 years 98% recovered Each bottle reused 18 times It saves the company money 2000 jobs in collection and cleaning No cost to municipality
54 Extended Producer Responsibilty - products XEROX CORPORATION EUROPE Recovers copying machines from 16 different countries Takes them to huge warehouses in the Netherlands, where the machines are stripped down for parts and materials 95% of materials recovered for reuse or recycling! This is saving Xerox $76 millions a year!!
55 Solid waste is the visible face of inefficiency!
