Commissioned for the Shropshire (Battlefield) public inquiry, this report compares the climate change impacts of incinerating or landfilling Shropshire’s residual waste. The report concludes that in some instances incineration can be even worse than landfill in climate change terms. The report does not investigate the climate change impacts of alternatives such as recycling, AD or MBT.
