The nationalist councilor, Blanca Pérez, presented a motion in the plenary commission of the Natural Environment, Primary Sector and Municipal Cooperation that was supported by the Popular Party and Sí Podemos Canarias, who also made contributions to the text presented.
Blanca Pérez points out in a note that “it is necessary to paralyze this project because what the PSOE wants to do is burn the garbage.”
For this reason, it appreciates the contributions of the Popular Party and Sí Podemos Canarias “and their high-mindedness on an issue that is very delicate and in which we must ensure the interests of Tenerife.”
The reality, he said, “is that they want to burn the garbage by different processes (pyrolysis, gasification and plasma) instead of favoring reuse and recycling.”
Thus, the agreement contemplates “the suspension of the tender for the Drafting of the project, the execution of the works and the operation of a waste recovery facility, including recycling and other types of recovery – except energy recovery through oxidation incineration– “which is in the period of submission of offers, because it is committed to the energy recovery of waste that can be materially recovered (recycled or composted).
Similarly, the agreement contemplates “that it be agreed that in the Waste Management Policies of the island of Tenerife energy recovery is not considered as an option for the treatment of waste with possibilities of material recovery”.
Likewise, in the third point of the agreement approved by CC-PNC, Partido Popular and Si Podemos Canarias, “the immediate referral to its members of the documentation that will be dealt with in the urgent call of the Waste Management Monitoring Commission is requested, on November 23, to address the future of organic waste management on the island of Tenerife and the implementation of Composting Plants for its material recovery “.
