(14 february 2008) The EEA briefing estimates that volumes of waste will grow. The environmental effects can be dealt with through diverting from landfill to re-use and recycling of waste. It does see a role for incinerator with recovery of heat, but limiting and avoiding waste provides the best opportunities for reducing CO2 emissions from waste. The briefing is avaiable in 26 languages. http://reports.eea.europa.eu/briefing_2008_1/en/
