There is a need for greater transparency and openness to scrutiny regarding the climate change impacts of waste incineration.

The United Kingdom Without Incineration Network (UKWIN) published on 15 July 2021 our good practice guidance for assessing the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) impacts of waste incineration.

This good practice guide provides recommendations for assessing GHG impacts of waste incineration. It is intended to be used by those carrying out such assessment as well as those reviewing or determining how much weight to give those assessments. The guide was created due to the inconsistent quality of such assessments (including those used to inform planning, permitting and policy decisions), and highlights areas where there is a genuine risk that adverse impacts of waste incineration could be significantly understated or misrepresented.
