The rapid increase in the generation of municipal solid waste is exerting considerable pressure on the conventional centralised MSW management system, and is resulting in a move towards a more decentralised system with smaller capacity waste treatment facilities. Smaller EfW integrated at different levels of the urban environment minimise the transportation of waste and ensure the local benefit is maximised from community waste. In this webinar, we will learn how you can start to make this move and the benefits. The UK must no longer simply bury or export the waste problem. Instead, as other European economies do, it should treat residual waste as a valuable resource to produce lower carbon heat and energy, alongside a focus on achieving important recycling targets and investing in innovative recycling technology. In this webinar, in partnership with Turboden, we will discuss: Supporting the move to a low carbon and circular economy – The role of decentralised WTE plants The UK RDF market and the need to increase internal EfW capacity WTE solutions based on ORC technology Case studies and lessons learnt so far

The leaders will say they recognise that the impacts of climate change if warming can be held at 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels are “much lower” than at 2 degrees and that “immediate action must be taken to keep 1.5 within reach.”
