Cheaper to Recycle?
Peterborough needs to intensively develop its recycling capacity.
There are currently two applications to build incinerators in Peterborough. This causes confusion and leads to people to argue that we should just have one.
In fact we could have none. There are alternatives. And despite intensive corporate lobbying for incineration no-one can deny that there is widespread opposition. Apart from national and international organisations like GAIA and UKWIN there are many local groups that oppose this idea.
In some cases it is the local Council that opposes incineration. Unfortunately in Peterborough the Council is composed for the most part of the same people that press the interests of business. In fact the Leader of Peterborough City Council is himself one of the owners of the private incineration company that hopes to build a plant in Peterborough and another one in Sutton Bridge. So we can’t expect any help from that quarter.
