all’On. Presidente della Regione Raffaele Lombardo
Egregio On. Presidente Lombardo, avevamo apprezzato la Sua responsabile presa di posizione sul Piano Rifiuti che, di fatto, azzerava i 4 inceneritori di Cuffaro, ma rimaniamo delusi dalla decisione di utilizzare il CDR come co-combustibile nei cementifici per i seguenti motivi:
1. si tratta sempre di ricorso alla combustione, con l’aggravante che i cementifici risultano più inquinanti degli inceneritori in quanto non dotati di specifici sistemi di abbattimento delle polveri e tanto meno dei microinquinanti, ed autorizzati con 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 concrete made 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 heavy metals by artifacts 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 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 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 Zero Waste "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 facilities, very clean, which transform the fraction of MSW can not be recycled 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.
