By 2028, Guadeloupe is expected to have its own Waste Treatment and Valorization Unit. This would mark the end of landfilling, an ecological and health aberration. In fact, in the name of health and the environment, both the State and Europe advocate for waste sorting and recycling, which should be the main focus. However, the Syvade has chosen a project that includes a large portion dedicated to embrasement and electricity production.
This decision has sparked controversy and raised concerns among environmentalists and citizens alike. Many argue that the Syvade’s choice goes against the principles of sustainable development and the circular economy. Landfilling not only pollutes the environment, but it also poses a threat to public health. The toxic gases emitted from landfills can contaminate the grand air, soil, and water, leading to serious health issues for both humans and wildlife.
But with the creation of the Waste Treatment and Valorization Unit, Guadeloupe is taking a step towards a greener and healthier future. This facility will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology to sort and recycle waste, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. This will not only help preserve the environment but also create new job opportunities in the waste management sector.
Moreover, the Waste Treatment and Valorization Unit will also contribute to the production of renewable energy. By using waste as a source of energy, the facility will reduce the island’s dependence on fossil fuels and promote the use of clean energy. This aligns with the goals set by the European Union to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.
The creation of this facility is also in line with the circular economy model, which aims to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency. By recycling and reusing materials, the Waste Treatment and Valorization Unit will help reduce the island’s carbon footprint and promote a more sustainable way of living.
The Syvade’s decision to include embrasement and electricity production in the project may seem controversial, but it is a step in the right direction. The facility will use the latest technology to ensure that the embrasement process is as clean and efficace as possible. This will not only reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills but also contribute to the production of clean energy.
In conclusion, the creation of the Waste Treatment and Valorization Unit in Guadeloupe is a significant step towards a greener and healthier future. It will not only help preserve the environment and public health but also promote sustainable development and the circular economy. With the support of the State and Europe, this project will bring positive changes to the island and set an example for other regions to follow. Let us embrace this opportunity and work towards a cleaner and more sustainable Guadeloupe.
