However, this waste management is not very sustainable long term solution or even in a short term due to environmental  hazards and health risks caused by incineration. How do you envision and perceive a future scenario regarding waste management in Sweden? 

Furthermore, over the last years it has been globally reported that Sweden has imported garbage from its neighbors in order to supply its WTE process. This being said, how has Sweden helped its neighbor countries or beyond to develop a similar system?
