A waste management strategy I refer to the article entitled ‘Waste management: too little, too late?’ by Daren Cordina (November 29). Aside from the undoubted good intentions of the author, there are several misunderstandings and assumptions that may be based on incomplete information. It is crucial to clarify that although waste to energy technology features prominently in our plans, this is part of a much larger strategy. The ECOHIVE complex will provide holistic waste management solutions including the mentioned waste to energy plant, a material recovery facility for dry recyclables, an organic processing plant with large scale composting capabilities, a new thermal treatment facility with energy generation capabilities, a skip waste management facility, and also an innovative waste transportation system.
