Recycling is an indispensable strategy for global sustainability. But in some cases the process of selection, collection, disposal and reuse breaks down too early. That means more waste-to-energy and climate and environmental impact. This was reported by a Channel 4 investigation<\/a> on the loopholes in the waste management system in the United Kingdom. As part of its inquiry, the broadcaster had access to a report by consultancy firm Eunomia<\/strong>, commissioned by the ClientEarth<\/strong>. According to the study, the Guardian reports<\/a>, “as coal is phased out, energy from waste will become the dirtiest form of electricity production<\/strong> in the UK.” By 2035, moreover, incineration will be a more carbon-intensive<\/strong> process than even landfill.<\/p>\n
