The councils may be forced to send more garbage to the waste dump or export it abroad due to a new pollution tax that is scheduled to be imposed on the UK waste incitement network.
There are already more than 60 power incinerators throughout the UK and the observer It was revealed in December that up to 40 new factories in the pipeline. Many local councils have supported the policy of burning waste, which is cheaper than sending it to the waste dump.
But the government is now ready to impose pollution fees on the sector under the UK emissions trading plan (ETS). The cost of the councils can be more than one billion pounds annually.
A large part of the waste that many families end in carefully for recycling.
The councils are now facing millions of pounds from pollution charges to burn waste. The energy incinerators of waste were described as the most dusty method that the UK now generates power, with activists warning that plants in England emit about 12 meters of carbon dioxide per year.
England is already burning about half of its waste. Environmental groups say the councils should focus on encouraging more recycling and “circular economy”.
Shlomo Dwin, from the United Kingdom without Burn The network said that the UK’s Holocaust Network undermined recycling efforts and contributed to carbon emissions.
He said: “The operators have been granted a free trip for a very long time due to the damage to the climate by burning waste.” He said that many councils had concluded contracts with the operators of the Holocaust, which were “bad for the environment and bad for the council’s taxpayers.” He said that new financial measures should also be presented to ensure high recycling rates.
Under the proposals of ETS extension to the Holocaust, there will be a period of presentation and report from 2026, with the start of the plan in 2028. The government consulted on the expanded plan in the summer and shows that it would go ahead.
Responding to government proposals by waste and vital energy experts, Tolvik Confoulge, warns of new waste burning fees according to the plan “will exceed the cost of the landfill and perhaps the cost of exports” – will cost within the limits of 135 pounds to 193 pounds per ton to burn garbage, compared to 146 pounds sterling. To 156 pounds sterling a ton to send it to the landfill, or 111 pounds to 124 pounds per ton to send it outside. Tolvik’s response warns of a “great danger” of sending more waste to the landfill in England or exporting it to burning it in European plants, while increasing transportation emissions on roads and sea. It is suggested that it be sent to send any waste to the dissolving or combustible waste dump at a power plant.
“There is a need for real care to ensure that the incentives to reduce emissions do not lead to worse environmental results, like more remaining waste that is sent to landfill sites or increased illegal disposal activity. If this happens, then then then A policy of goodwill will be very poorly subject to.
The councils have already warned that the new tax may work to download billions of pounds of additional costs to the local authorities. The Local Government Association said that the costs faced by the councils may rise to 1.1 billion pounds annually by 2036. The operators of the holes will pay the new tax, but they will recover the costs from the additional fees for garbage burning, which will decrease the councils.

The ministers said that a lot of waste is burned or sent to the landfill, with recycling rates in England stopped. The government published a memorandum in December on waste infrastructure and stated that it would only support new projects if it faced strict local and environmental conditions.
A government spokesman said: “We reduce waste by moving to a circular economy and we will continue near the elimination of waste that can be decomposed by the landfill to support Safar Safar, by” stopping the tap “for future methane emissions,” a government spokesman said.
“The expansion of emissions trading plan in the UK to include energy from waste facilities will lead to reducing emissions and pays investment in cleaner supply chains. We continue to deal with the industry about the details of this plan, including how to pass costs to reflect emissions and recycling efforts, and will be provided More time updates.
The Environmental Services Association, the Trade Association for the Recycling and Waste Reperse Sector, said it has supported the new fees to help the industry reach zero. He said that the new fees must be accompanied by a prohibition on the dissolving waste to the waste dump and the “carbon boundaries” mechanism to ensure that the waste does not send abroad.
