By: SMi Group In the run up to the event SMi Group spoke to Guillaume Perron-Piché When asked about his participation at the forthcoming show, he said: “In this conference, I will shed light on the European legal framework…The task and chance we have as ESWET is to keep track of various initiatives across the EU, while also trying to understand what is going on in the minds of decision-makers… “The UK starting mostly from scratch in the respect of heat utilisation from Waste-to-Energy plants, I am particularly curious to see how district heating from waste projects can be set-up – and succeed – in a competitive environment where public opposition is widespread. Pulling this act together is really amazing!” On the EU and its initiatives surrounding the circular economy, he commented: “The Circular Economy is a good opportunity firstly to end landfilling, a manifestly non-circular activity. Of course, some will claim that the same is true for incineration that all can be recycled, but this does not match the reality of products & waste. The Circular Economy should be about better products and better consumption patterns, which will go the longest way to improving the environment. When it comes to residual waste nevertheless produced, or to the stocks of unrecyclable products still held everywhere from households to businesses, Waste-to-Energy will have a role to play for decades to come. And we should not forget that even when living more in a Circular Economy, every good will eventually reach the end of its useful life. Making this understood in Brussels is ESWET’s key preoccupation.” The full interview is available to read at http://www.smi- Energy From Waste 2015 7th & 8th December Holiday Inn Regents Park www.efw-event.com ---end--- About SMi Group: Established since 1993, the SMi Group is a global event-production company that specializes in Business-to- End
