      Zinkhaltigt avfall bör gå till återvinning. För material- eller energiåtervinning ur, alternativt minimering av uppkomsten av övriga avfallsslag hänvisas till kapitlet om Möjligheter att begränsa utsläpp till vatten.

      Det finns inget behov av plastavfall för el- och värmeproduktion men så länge plast förekommer i samhället är energiåtervinning genom förbränning det mest resurseffektiva sättet att få bort giftig, kontaminerad eller utsliten plast. Energiåtervinning ska bara ske av fraktioner som inte kan nyttiggöras högre upp i avfallshierarkin.
      There is no need for plastic waste in electricity and heat production, but as long as plastic exists in society, energy recovery through incineration is the most resource-efficient way to remove toxic, contaminated, or worn-out plastic. Energy recovery should only be used for fractions that cannot be utilized higher up in the waste hierarchy.

      Augustsson welcomes the change as previously large amounts of textiles were disposed of directly through incineration for energy recovery.
