Even developed countries don’t use incinerators anymore due to pollution concerns, says consumer group. FMTNews

CAP says incinerating waste could lead to pollution to the air, soil and water.

In a statement, he said incineration also produces toxic ash, and that developed countries had stopped using such technology. State executive councillor Jagdeep Singh Deo said while Penang was previously against using incinerators, such technology is now believed to be safe for use.The move would also be in line with the federal government’s requirement for each state to have an incinerator, he added.

“This can be done through composting of organic waste that makes up at least 50% of the total waste generated,” he said.
