The article reports on the proposal to build a privately financed 16MW energy-from-waste incinerator by waste giant Sita UK Ltd. in central Cornwall.

The article reports that the County Council of Surrey, England will build two energy from waste (EfW) incinerators in order to halve the amount of waste it landfills each year. Under the 20 year Surrey Waste Plan, two EfW plants would treat nearly 270,000 tonnes of household waste each year, supplying electricity to 17,000 homes. Surrey has found that the EfW was preferable to the increasingly popular Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) as a waste solution.

The article reports on the possible growth of incineration plants construction across Great Britain following the approval of Belvedre plant, the biggest incinerator in south London, England. Experts believe that councils will be revising their waste-management plans after the approval was given. The site has been through three applications and two public inquiries since 1992. There is currently 12 energy-from-waste sites that are operating in England and Wales.
