P-05-908 CF3 against the Incinerator, Correspondence – Petitioner to Committee, 07.12.20

The response from the PR firm is still woefully inaccurate.

They forget to mention that the previous planning application is actually no longer valid as it is more than 10 years old and was never renewed.

The previous HGVs on the previous planning application where much smaller type, these new lorries are much bigger.

The roads in those 10 years have got much busier and more polluted.

The claim of being the "cleanest" incinerator in the UK also doesn't appear accurate. They are refusing to capture the Carbon emissions being emitted. No CO2 capture will occur. This means that over 200,000 tonnes of CO2 will be pumped out every year by this plant. Cardiff has declared a Carbon Emergency...this doesn't seem right to me.

They claim it's greener than landfill, but again I find this inaccurate. The only waste that should be being processed in this facility is NON recyclable waste. All food waste, glass, wood, metal and recyclable plastic should have been removed (and already recycled). That would only leave a small mix of non recyclable certain plastics. These could be quite easily stored in the ground with no release of CO2, methane or emissions.
