European NGOs Urge EU to Halt Incinerator Expansion, Citing Recycling Threat

Over 80 environmental groups, including Slovak organizations, have issued a joint call for the EU and member states to immediately stop building new waste incinerators, arguing that overcapacity undermines recycling targets. The move signals growing political pressure on EU waste policy, though its immediate regulatory impact remains uncertain. This could affect future EU circular-economy legislation and national waste-management investments.
