A Florida Environmental group claims companies disguised as eco friendly recycling plants are trying to set up shop in Florida. Floridians Against Incinerators in Disguise held a press conference in Tallahassee Monday, to announce a plan to keep two solid waste companies out of the sunshine state. The companies want to build plasma arc plants. The plants dispose of trash by heating it and releases syngas, which is suppose to be safer than regular omissions.
