Incineration - an Indispensable Element of a Responsible Waste Management

On the basis of the example of the implementation Swiss waste management concept it is shown that with simple goals and set environmental boundary conditions, reliable and sustainable solutions can be developed and realized. Hereby, incineration plays a central role and has evolved to the best available technology for the thermal treatment of waste. It became an indispensable element to solve the main problems related to waste, which comprise the reduction of waste volume, preventing from pathogenic hazards, protecting of the environment and the recovery of resources. Considering the future, with waste incineration it will be possible to extract rare substances from waste including strategic metals.
