No use for Wood & Company new incinerators

Slovakia will need new capacity to burn 340,000 tons of non-recyclable waste per year by 2030, while projects by cement and heating plants and expanding existing incinerators in Bratislava and Košice will increase capacity by 323,000 tons, an analysis by the public Institute of Environmental Policy shows. Wood&Co's plans for five new incinerators costing hundreds of millions are thus too ambitious, would depend on waste imports, and would produce unnecessary greenhouse gases. Wood&Co's first €120m project in Šaľa has already received a positive environmental impact assessment. It claims the analysis was "done hastily and contains a number of inaccuracies and errors."
