Hon. President of the Region Raffaele Lombardo
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 CDR as 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 emission limits higher (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 obtained using CDR, the message "cement obtained by co-Cdr fuel, such as cement is hazardous to health due to the release of heavy metals by products made with it ;
2. discouragement of recycling and, in fact, opening the import of CDR, as evidenced by the policy of the incinerators. Furthermore, using the CDR as co-fuel, there is a substantial reduction in the recycling of valuable materials such as paper, cardboard and plastics, and jobs;
3. in fact worsen the plan Cuffaro, from 4 to 6 incinerators (How many cement factories in Sicily) Ragusa and Modica, both areas dedicated to livestock and greenhouse crops, causing irreparable financial damage, in Catania, allocated in the urban center that would lead to an increase in heavy traffic and as a result of ' noise and dust, in Priolo, in the middle of industrial area, already heavily compromised, with the Island of the Females (PA) and Porto Empedocle (AG), the latter two in urban areas with high tourist.
Mr President, these three reasons why particular concern, and we invite you to take the road that the whole civilized world has long since begun and that is "Objective 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 e alla salute, arrecati dalle emissioni degli impianti di incenerimento, si possa ancora oggi continuare sulla vecchia strada degli inceneritori che “termo-svalorizzano” l’ambiente, la salute ed i rifiuti?
è così complicato costruire almeno un impianto di compostaggio per provincia, obbligare i Comuni ad attivare i centri di raccolta e costruire quegli impianti, assolutamente non inquinanti, che trasformano la frazione dei RSU non riciclabile in sabbia artificiale ottima per construction, how does one "Vedelago?
Everything, if you will, is achievable in the short term, with lower costs than the systems with CDR and the creation of more jobs clean.

Waste Plan, critical environmental organizations
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 Island Constituent Environmentalist and Clean City Committee, responsible for its initiative to clear the 4-energy plant planned but by Cuffaro but we remain disappointed by the decision to use the CDR, or refuse derived fuel, cement, because they are more polluting incinerators because they do not have specific dust suppression systems and authorized emission limits 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, Harbour Island and Empodocle of these females last two in urban areas with a strong tourist vocation. For environmentalists the only possible solution is "Objective Rifiuti Zero” che privilegia il riciclaggio e considera e sfrutta la spazzatura come una risorsa, costituendo almeno un impianto di compostaggio per provincia, obbligando i Comuni ad attivare i centri di raccolta e costruire quegli impianti, assolutamente non inquinanti, che trasformano la frazione dei RSU non riciclabile in sabbia artificiale ottima per l’edilizia. Il tutto- conclude la nota – , è realizzabile in tempi brevi, con costi inferiori rispetto agli impianti di CDR e con la creazione di più posti di lavoro puliti.
