In Italy, ANSA reported that the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR) rejected an appeal against the city of Rome’s refuse-management plan and the project to construct a major waste-to-energy plant to deal with the capital’s trash.
The court said the petition, presented by local resident committees, environmental associations and local councils was “groundless”.
“The TAR’s decision is an important one and we welcome it,” said Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri.
“Rome will finally have a waste-to-energy plant and all the other plants needed to achieve self-sufficiency. “A city without refuse plants is a city that cannot have an ordinary waste-collection system and a city that pollutes and emits carbon dioxide,” Gualtieri said.
