Local plans for an Incinerator at Newhaven, Waste Transfer Station at Hollingdean and the Council’s Waste Local Plan have been the subject of much scrutiny and opposition and the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has also recently launched its Waste Strategy Review and Consultation which has re-opened the debate nationally with many new incinerators planned to be built over the next few years.
Meanwhile there have been encouraging signs recently of emerging new waste handling technology which is reported to transform waste into oil, gas, water and mineral solids. The pilot project in Missouri, USA is in need of academic assessment of performance, but has been running since 2003. The process is known as Thermal Depolymerisation and produces no toxic waste.
