Waste (Incineration) Regulations 2024

The Regulations may be found here.


This statutory instrument was written by /u/lily-irl, Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure, Housing, and the Environment, on behalf of the Welsh Government.


Llywydd,

With the leave of the Senedd I wish to make a statement on a moratorium on the construction of waste incineration plants in Wales.

The Welsh Government intends to prohibit the construction of new waste incineration or co-incineration plants in Wales, and these regulations achieve that. The construction of new plants will be prohibited, and we will ensure that disused plants do not come back online. This accomplishes a gradual shift away from waste incineration.

The harms associated with incineration plants on our health and the environment are well documented; burning rubbish produces hazardous chemicals that are released into ash. There is no effective means of filtering all of the particles created by incineration, and negative health outcomes have been correlated with proximity to an active incineration site.

This Government is making good on another PfG pledge today, protecting our environment and our health. I commend these regulations to the Senedd.

This debate will end on Tuesday 13th of February 2024 at 10PM.
