Please think about all of the suffering private waste incineration companies, they're suffering out here!
I'm surprised western governments aren't promoting landfills as carbon sinks and issuing CO2 certificates for them yet.
Don't give them ideas!
Article from 2023 by the way. Not saying it's bad, i just wonder if and how things have changed since then.
Yes and it's got much better, and it is helping other third world countries with w2e technology: https://en.people.cn/n3/2025/0625/c90000-20332502.html
Please come to Guatemala and take our trash
Isn't incinerating trash bad though? Isn't it good that they're running out of trash to burn? The ashe produced still needs to be put in a landfill, so wouldn't these old landfills that will be dug up be refilled with the waste ash from the incineration process? For-profit waste management is a bad idea regardless... I don't even think this counts as recycling if you're just taking all the burnable trash and burning it. That said, it's clear to me the whole concept of "recycling" is a grift to begin with, since almost all of our waste is just sent over seas to be burned in conditions worse than this, like open burn pits. When you have as many people as China does, you probably have to use every method of disposal to keep up with the waste produced by the population.
Modern waste-to-energy technology is actually less polluting than coal or gas plants, and China is using waste ash for building materials as concrete alternative.
Well then, that's good to know!
Incinerating trash is "bad" but the methane produced by mixed organic and inorganic waste is much much much worse.
China should buy up western trash
Weren't they doing exactly that up until like 5 years ago?
2018 I think was when the ban on US trash started. Malaysia picked up the slack when that happened, but they too are now banning the import of US trash. Almost all of California's waste was being sent to Malaysia.
But can they continue to illegally dump toxic landfills on the source of drinking water for Indigenous people or on the Federal Reserves concentration camps. The Canadian government continues to intentionally place landfills in location where it poisons the drinking water of First Nation people in federal reserves and near residences of Native Americans, Inuits, Metis, and African Americans. The planned chemical attacks are one of the scheme to force Indigenous people to surrender the reparation for the numerous slave camps and death camps in the Residential fake school system. The First Nation people cannot leave the concentration camps with the planned starvation, planned chemical attacks from landfills, and planned assault by white rapists until the forfeit the repration for previous war crimes.
