The £600m plant, which protestors say will reduce air quality, is due to start burning waste in 2025.
A new £600m incinerator will be better for the environment than sending waste to landfill, the company building it has claimed, as construction continues.
The plant at Rivenhall, near Braintree, Essex, will generate electricity by burning unrecyclable waste from 2025."Residual waste is being landfilled, which is the worst thing you can do from a climate change perspective," said John Ahern of waste firm Indaver.He said about half of the cost of the waste-to-energy project, at a former airbase, went into gas-cleaning technology and environmental control.
Planning permission for the building was granted by Essex County Council in 2010, with a permit to operate approved by the Environment Agency
