Our Comments: The NLWA intends to use "composting or anaerobic digestion" at Pinkham Wood.
However, it said that kerb-side food waste collections would NOT travel there, so only organic waste that was separated out of the black-bag waste would be processed (presumably mainly food waste and disposable nappies and their contents).
Mention in the video of sending food packaging for incineration ('Energy from Waste') so that it might "replace fossil fuels" is technically true if it is paper-based, but that material ought to be composted instead.
Plastic packaging is, of course, "fossil fuels", and burning it - and having the NLWA locked into long-term contracts to do so - stops higher recycling targets being achieved, for decades to come.
