Abstract
In 2018, there were 243 fires in waste management facilities in Poland, and in 2019, the number of waste fires amounted to 176. During the uncontrolled incineration of waste, the environment is significantly polluted through the emission of toxic substances to the air, water and soil, and various compounds are leached out of the combustion residues. In addition to the negative environmental aspects, waste fires cause enormous losses of materials, that could be recycled or recovered. Therefore the waste fires directly affect the depletion of natural resources. According to the waste hierarchy, if the recycling is not feasible, waste should be recovered, for example for energy generation purposes. Considering that fires burn waste with high calorific value, there is a loss of energy that could be obtained from waste in incineration plants or in cement plants fuelled by RDF (refuse derived fuel). In the paper detailed data on waste fires in recent years in Poland have been summarized, taking into account the location and size of fires, type of waste management facilities in which fires occurred. The paper also shows types of waste that were fired. Moreover the an estimation of amount of waste that was burned was done and thus their material and energy value was irretrievably lost.
