Sí Podemos rejects heat treatments for waste

Sí Podemos Canarias argues that “the only way to continue advancing towards optimal waste management is to continue with recycling and separation.” In this sense, he criticizes the intention of “using technologies to apply high temperatures to the waste, which for practical purposes would be like a kind of covert incinerator”. And they insist on the idea: “No matter how much puns are used by the government team to try to confuse the citizenry.”

“We are investigating, they say from Sí Podemos, that, although it seems that everything is under the law and is not directly linked to incineration, the mechanisms involved in these thermal processes do present their own signs.”

Incineration free

The political group recalls that in March 2019, the Cabildo of Tenerife, at the proposal of the PSOE, “institutionally agreed to renounce the incineration of waste.” It also highlights that “in the programmatic agreements between our group and the PSOE, at the beginning of the current mandate, we signed that Tenerife should be a territory free of waste incinerators.” In addition, they add, “we urge the Government of the Canary Islands to legislate under the premises of the binding priorities of the Comprehensive Waste Plan for the Canary Islands (PIRCAN) (2019-2026) of the Community Circular Economy Package and the Spanish Circular Economy Strategy 2030”.

In relation to what was agreed in the PIRCAN, the island group highlights that “it is striking to see now how CC has quickly protested against this information, when it was this political party that put the greatest reluctance to withdraw the incineration of the PIRCAN in 2019; Thanks to the pressure exerted by the autonomous Parliament, this option was rejected.

Sí Podemos Canarias denounces that “these heat treatments do not respond to the demands of green and sustainable policies for the island model that we want and demand for Tenerife.”

Remember that this premise appears «in the electoral program with which we present ourselves to the public in the 2019 elections and that we continue to defend today.

«We do not understand that the possibility of using this type of technology is even questioned, the group emphasizes, when the previous steps have not even been taken to promote and continue the task of raising awareness about the separation of waste at source, to bet on recycling and not consuming products or materials that we do not need.

Sí Podemos Canarias affirms that “both from what has been agreed by our group, and from the requirements of the European Union, the solutions must inevitably involve reducing the generation of waste and recycling; that is to say, the material valuation ». “From our point of view, he points out, a desperate solution is being sought, which is a serious mistake to face the waste problem on the Island, something that no heat treatment will solve.”

In addition, Sí Podemos Canarias adds that this ill-advised bet «is not going to change the seriousness of the fact that it could be betting on bringing waste from the smaller islands of the province to Tenerife by boat, which would also contribute to still having higher levels of accumulated waste to which the CAT currently presents. In relation to this, the insular group considers that “the seven councils would have to be part of a common solution.” “We have another fundamental problem, they point out, given that the 88 municipalities of the Archipelago have not even managed to get close to the objectives set by the Law on waste management. That is why we will start paying millions in fines from 2022 ».

For Sí Podemos Canarias «it is very worrying that the area of ​​Sustainable Development and Fight Against Climate Change of the Cabildo does not have a defined roadmap or waste planning, but that the companies themselves propose the types of model to be carried out carried out, as can be seen from the statements of the director responsible for the area ”.

Advance towards “optimal, sustainable waste management that serves us for the present and for the future” It means for Podemos “to continue to influence recycling and the separation of waste, instead of coming with thermal treatments that could be disguised incinerators and whose effectiveness has not been sufficiently demonstrated.”

The island group demands that the government group “abide by what has been signed in our programmatic agreement with the PSOE and get to work on solutions adapted to compliance with the law, the necessary circular economy and the general benefit of this Island.” Sí Podemos Canarias concludes: “Our priorities are very clear and reflected both in the aforementioned programmatic agreement and in the Pact of Flowers for the autonomous government.”
