The international environmental organization GAIA launched "The Burn Book: Incinerators that Threaten the Climate, Public Health, and Our Finances" on October 1, 2026. The study examined 20 incinerator plants globally, including those in Switzerland, looking at issues like public debt, subsidies, and toxic byproducts. GAIA concluded that waste incinerators are the most expensive form of waste management and represent a colossal financial waste.
