Zero Waste Aotearoa marked the international day of action against incineration on Tuesday 30 September. This action is part of our call to the central government to institute an immediate moratorium on waste-to-energy incineration. Zero Waste Europe says, “Communities living near existing incinerators have been vocal about the health impacts of toxic emissions, including persistent pollutants such as dioxins, PFAS, and heavy metals. The whole town is in limbo,” said Dorte Wray, General Manager of Zero Waste Aotearoa. Dirty incinerators are a supremely bad choice for the economy, environment and communities when we have hundreds of ways to drastically reduce waste now.”
