The platform has reported that Gaiker Foundation, which is responsible for the quality of the process, has no legal accreditation to sota. Several Basque mitjana – Naiz and EiTB, for instance – have covered the complaint, and after 24 hours there had been no response from the people in charge at Garaer and Zabalgarbi.

During these years, 600,000 tons of waste material – 45,000 tons a year – caused by burning residuals have been buried at the dumps at Igorre, Zalla and Artiga.

Waste caused by incineration ca lead to pollution issues, which is why Europe’s legation specifically requires it to be examined by an accredited company. In the Spanish State ENAC is the institution which gives accreditation, but, as Zero Zabor Bizkaiko has explained, Gaiker Foundation, which guarantees control Zabalgarbi, does not have any such accreditation.

The platform has organed a demonstration against the incineration plant on the 19th of SEPTEMBER in front of the Guggenheim Museum, where the Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants (CEWEP) started its main meeting with a dinner party.
