Ontario Pork believes that incineration will add one more option for pork producers in particular, where deadstock pickup/burial or composting is not available as an option, or not feasible due to regulatory issues, costs and complexities. 

However, any new or updated proposal must not be burdensome to producers in terms of having to prove or defend that the incinerator works to the appropriate standards.   

Ontario pork producers would also welcome a process that would reduce the burden and costs of verifying incinerator performance without changing the performance standards of these units.
