Description
For the families who living at peripheral areas, waste is still considered as the primary fuel in the co-fired boilers. Unfortunately, not only clothing (textile) and paper, but also plastic and other waste is burned in mixed-fuel boilers that have a health-damaging effect.
Several factors are required for a successful EIS:
● Enable families in need to use real fuels other than waste.
● Provide free of charge fuel materials (e.g. wood waste from landscaping).
● Informing schoolchildren and parents about the dangers of incineration.
● Involve actors who are in daily/weekly contact with affected families (nurses, Church, Family Support Services) in this information campaign.
● Organizing distribution of alternative fuels for families with law income.
● Creating an appropriate formal Information Network of potential stakeholders, potential alternative fuel providers, the laboratories, etc.
● Advertising and making a full campaign.
Objective
Eliminating the incineration of waste.
