Abstract
The waste incineration business is facing a rapid development in forms of
expansion of new and existing plants. To fully understand the issues facing
such a growth the historical development until today has been accounted
for. This historical review is followed by a description of the current situation.
The future development of the availability of waste incineration plants is
analysed and strategic issues for this expansion are outlined.

considered dangerous, from a financial perspective. There are other
factors speaking for a more moderate expansion. (Less)
