Welcome to the website of the United Kingdom Without Incineration Network (UKWIN). UKWIN now boasts well over 300 members, including more than 100 groups campaigning for sustainable waste management and against waste incineration.

UKWIN opposes the incineration of waste, both directly in waste incinerators and indirectly through refuse derived fuels or co-incineration in cement kilns. The UKWIN website provides resources for anti-incineration campaigners, including a quote bank featuring helpful public statement from authoritative sources as well as a consultation submissions archive.
The incineration of household waste depresses recycling and wastes resources, releases greenhouse gasses, and is often forced through against strong public opposition. Instead of promoting zero waste, incinerators rely for feedstock on material that should be recycled or composted. Incinerators create toxic emissions and hazardous ash, and therefore pose significant health risks.

UKWIN has developed an interactive map of existing and potential municipal waste incineration sites. Please visit the map and look at the information we have gathered so far, to see if you know of anything for us to add. The map information is also laid out in the form of a table for easy reference. If you are aware of any improvements or corrections, please contact the UKWIN Co-ordinator.
