Lombardo Dear Mr President, we appreciate your responsible position on the Waste Plan which, in fact, clear the four incinerators Cuffaro, but we remain disappointed by the decision to use the CDR as a co-fuel in the cement for the following reasons:
1. it is always used for combustion, with the aggravating circumstance that the cement plants are more polluting incinerators because they do not have specific systems for dust suppression and even less of micropollutants, and authorized with higher emission limits (the limit for dioxins ranging from 0.1 nanograms / cu in incinerators 10 ng / mc in cement, that is 100 times more!). Furthermore, since the operating temperature of cement higher than those of incinerators, emissions, and in particular the nanoparticolato (consisting mainly heavy metals), are even larger; also the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency ) found significant increases of mercury, one of the most toxic compounds to humans, in the emissions of cement supplied by CDR. In the U.S. cement manufacturers are required to indicate on the containers of cement produced with the use of CDR, the message "cement obtained by co-Cdr fuel, such as cement is hazardous to health due to the release of metals by heavy objects with it realizzati ;
2. disincentivazione della raccolta differenziata e, di fatto, apertura all’importazione di CDR, come dimostrato dalla politica dei termovalorizzatori. Inoltre, con l’utilizzo del CDR quale co-combustibile, si registra una sostanziale riduzione del riciclo di materiali pregiati quali carta, cartone e plastiche, e dei posti di lavoro;
3. peggiorerebbe di fatto il piano Cuffaro, passando da 4 a 6 inceneritori (quanti sono i cementifici in Sicilia): a Modica e Ragusa, entrambe zone vocate alla zootecnia ed alla serricoltura, con conseguenti irreparabili danni economici, a Catania, allocato in pieno centro urbano che determinerebbe l’aumento di traffico pesante e di conseguenza dell’inquinamento acustico e da polveri, a Priolo, in piena area industriale, già fortemente compromessa, ad Isola delle Femmine (PA) ed a Porto Empedocle (AG), questi due ultimi in aree urbane a forte vocazione turistica.
Signor Presidente, questi tre motivi ci preoccupano particolarmente, e La invitiamo a riprendere la strada che tutto il mondo civile ha ormai da tempo intrapreso e cioè “l’Obiettivo Rifiuti Zero” che privilegia il riciclaggio e considera e sfrutta i rifiuti come una risorsa.
è mai possibile che, con le conoscenze scientifiche sui devastanti danni all’ambiente and health, caused by emissions from incineration plants, we can still continue on the old road of the incinerators' heat-devalued "the environment, health and waste?
is at least as complicated to build a composting plant for the province to require municipalities to enable the collection centers and build those facilities, very clean, which transform the non-recyclable fraction of MSW in good artificial sand for construction , how does one "Vedelago?
Everything, if you will, is achievable in the short term, with lower costs than the systems CDR and the creation of more jobs clean.

Piano waste, environmental groups criticized
March 8 2011 - 14:50
Four environmental organizations write to the President of Sicily Region Raffaele Lombardo to express their disappointment about the new waste plan presented yesterday by the governor. "We appreciated the statement, signed by AugustAmbiente, Decontamination Sicily Constituent Environmentalist Island Clean City Committee and its charge- initiative to clear the four incinerators planned by Cuffaro but but we remain disappointed by the decision to use the CDR, or refuse derived fuel, cement, because they are more polluting incinerators as they do not have a specific dust collection systems and authorized with emission standards higher. "For the environmental groups would also discourages the recycling and waste would be even worse Plan Cuffaro, from 4 to 6 incinerators (as the number of cement factories in Sicily): Modica, Ragusa, Catania, Priolo, Empodocle Port and Island of the latter two females in urban areas with a strong tourist vocation. For environmentalists the only possible solution is the "Zero Waste Goal" which focuses on recycling and considers and uses garbage as a resource, providing at least a composting plant for the province, forcing the municipalities to enable the collection centers and build those plants, absolutely non-polluting, which transform the non-recyclable fraction of MSW in good artificial sand for construction. The all-concludes the statement - it is done swiftly, with lower costs than the systems with CDR and the creation of more jobs clean.
