Comment on Sweden imports waste from European neighbors to fuel waste-to-energy programparent

Comments

Denmark has been doing the same since the nineties and we have also developed over capacity. We get around the waste problem by "reusing" it in road construction.

BTW Denmark is the neighbour to Sweden so I guess they have their inspiration from us.

Finland has just started building its own overcapacity.

Apparently the usual pattern is: garbage dump is full -> incinerator easiest way out -> must build a huge one to make the economics look reasonable.
