Welcome to the website of the United Kingdom Without Incineration Network (UKWIN). If this is your first visit, you’ve come at an exciting time for the Network and our website!
- An increasing number of groups and individuals are joining the Network and pooling resources devoted to anti-incineration campaigning and to fulfilling our vision of a UK without incineration of household waste.
- UKWIN, in collaboration with Friends of the Earth, has developed an interactive map of existing and potential household waste incineration sites. Please visit the map and look at the information we have gathered so far, to see if you know of anything to add!
- This site also features updates and case studies from local anti-incineration campaign groups, and news stories of interest to our members.
- UKWIN has produced a brief summary of some of the reasons that underpin our opposition to the incineration of household waste (directly in waste incinerators or ‘indirectly’ in the form of refuse derived fuels, co-incineration in cement kilns, etc.), and we are gathering more in-depth information about a range of waste management and incineration topics to be stored in the UKWIN Knowledge Bank.
You are welcome to direct any questions and suggestions, and indeed any content that you would like to contribute (e.g. as part of our Knowledge Bank) to coordinator@ukwin.org.uk
