Sewage sludge is burnt in Longannet, has been for years. Due to changes in EU Directives it now needs to be burnt in a more controlled fashion, though they have been granted an exemption the legality of which is dubious. Scottish Power are in the planning process to build a new power station, which will also take the sort of wood (chipboard for example) which cannot be recycled. While it would be better not to have the sludge that isn't going to happen overnight and burning it in a controlled fashion is one of the better things to do with it. Following lobbying Scottish Power say they are looking at a use for the heat, which they originally intended to dump into the atmosphere.

However, this is very different to waste incinerators, especially if they are PFI schemes. They encourage the production of waste to feed the furnace, when what is needed is a reduction of waste.

[Unmarked snip] "Most of the glass used in this way is from wine bottles. There is little use for green cullet in the UK and that's why it mounts up in areas where wine bottles form a greater proportion of recycled glass. Brown and clear glass are usually kept separately from green and remain available to those wanting cullet." [End]

Ah good, pointless ad hominem and avoidance of the actual point being made noted. Not only that, but an unmarked snip worthy of Drivel.
