- If Rossano Ercolini, President of the Zero Waste Europe Coordinator, said that the future of the new incinerators in Italy was played in Florence, great news has arrived for those who are trying to fight the incineration of waste and support the Zero Waste model (Rifiuti Zero): The Italian State Council (which in Spain has the functions of the Constitutional Court) has definitively rejected the incinerator project in La Piana, near Florence.
