“Any effective strategy needs to consider the often unplanned shutdowns that occur during maintenance.”
In his opinion piece for MRW (October–November 2026), Andy Olie draws on WikiWaste’s fourth report on the waste incineration market.
The residual waste market is close to capacity. When supply and demand are this close, small changes have large effects. The high-temperature and clinical waste markets have already shown this.
Andy argues that resilience has to be planned for: maintenance shutdowns, unplanned outages, and landfill as short-term back-up.
