Summary

This article argues that the upcoming EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) revision should include municipal waste incineration to boost recycling rates, reduce external dependencies on critical materials, and abate CO2 emissions. It emphasizes that waste operators' daily decisions on material recovery, energy production, and hazardous waste destruction are shaped by EU climate policy. The piece advocates for including Waste-to-Energy in the ETS while excluding hazardous waste incineration, which serves as an essential depollution service.
