Energy-from-waste operator, enfinium, has revealed statistics suggesting that 72% of the public believe the UK should be responsible for its own waste, rather than shipping it overseas. See the article here: https://network.efwconference.com/posts/enfinium-reveals-public-demand-for-a-ban-on-waste-exports  We wanted to know what our network thinks about RDF exports. Do you think restrictions or even a blanket ban on exports is necessary? What repercussions could a ban have on the UK’s waste management? Please comment any thoughts or questions on this thread.

Read the full story here.  Are you surprised by the findings of the National waste crime survey?  What more needs to be done to reduce waste crime, especially in this difficult financial climate?

The CCC's annual report called for "greater strategic coordination of plans to decarbonise the waste sector" and said that emissions from new plants are “undermining efforts to reduce emissions within the waste sector”.  What are your thoughts on these findings? What needs to be done to ensure the decarbonisation of the waste sector? How can increased emissions from new plants be offset?
