A conversation on waste incineration in Ukraine

25th May 2020 · 2:00 AM (CET)

We joined forces with our member OZERO and the Zero Waste Alliance Ukraine to shine a spotlight on the problem of waste incineration in Ukraine.

The conversation focuses on:

What types of waste are currently burned?
What are the effects of waste incineration on our health, climate and the economy?
Is “safe incineration” possible?
Why do Waste-to-Energy plants still operate across Europe if they’re not safe?
What should people do with their waste instead of burning it in Ukraine? Best practices of zero waste cities across Europe.
