The Brussels-based sustainability organization Zero Waste Europe is currently trying to have the European Parliament include waste-to-energy incineration within the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). An assessment by the group says that requiring waste companies to purchase credits for their emissions could result in lower emissions, a stronger financial incentive to recycle rather than discard waste, and job creation to fulfill the labor-intensive nature of recycling over incineration.
