UKWIN Policy Suggestions Meeting

Organised by United Kingdom Without Incineration Network (UKWIN)

UKWIN, a network of anti-incineration campaigners, is holding a Zoom meeting to discuss their policy proposals for England that would help us shift from incineration towards a circular economy. They encourage you to invite your MP to attend too.

They have set out three key proposal to address the serious threats posed by waste:

  • Introduce an immediate suspension on new waste incineration capacity.
  • Phase in an escalating incineration tax to complement the landfill tax; and
  • Adopt meaningful municipal waste reduction targets for total and residual waste.
