Whether it will introduce a selective ban on products for incineration similar to that introduced for landfill.

The proposed Zero Waste Regulations will ensure that separately collected dry recyclables and food waste are banned from both landfill and incineration. These bans will be universal and apply regardless of the source of the waste.
The draft Regulations also contain a requirement that every effort is made to remove all recyclable material from an unsorted waste stream before the remaining residual element can be incinerated. This effectively means that “black bin bag” waste or waste which has not been collected separately cannot be sent direct to mass incineration without first having been subject to some form of pre-treatment. This provides a second opportunity to remove recyclable materials missed at the source segregation and separate collection stage. This will ensure that Scotland does not simply move from mass landfill to mass incineration.
The intended effect of this restriction is to ensure that only materials which cannot be recycled are available for incineration. This reduction in potential “feedstock” for incineration facilities is unlikely to reduce the number of speculative planning applications in the short-term, but it will ultimately limit the number that are built.
