23 Jun 2022 --- The Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA) – Asia Pacific – is condemning the recent promotion and commitment by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to invest in Waste-to-Energy (WTE) incinerators in the region at the Asia Clean Energy Forum, which ended last week. GAIA has long argued that WTE practices threaten human and environmental health and offer major FMCGs an excuse to continue mass-producing single-use plastics, which can provide a source of free fuel for cement kilns and other construction industry practices.
