Ouch Ariel - did you read this report? You didn't find the fact that it is written by a group of Mechanical Engineers that support incineration facilities (note the many pictures in the report that talk about the beautiful and astetically pleasing design of European incinerators)a little suspect? What about the claim that the emitted dioxins will be "diluted an infinite amount as they mix with surrounding air"? Isn't dilution an "old fashioned" way of dealing with pollution? This report is more about meeting the energy needs of the UK rather than solving the waste problem. To suggest that recycling is not viable because 1) demand is low (well - shouldn't we be understanding why?? It is not because we are making less stuff), 2) recycled products are unregulated when shipped abroad (sounds fixable to me) and 3) more energy is used in the production of recycled materials that virgin materials (somebody has not done their life cycle analysis here - what is your scope??) seems suspect. A little more "critical thinking" is what we need to get ourselves through our huge sustainability challenge. I am sure you were pressed for time, but your paragraph on this issue is misleading and onesided and I am surprised more people haven't called you on it.
