-CHPA members include companies that operate waste incinerators. Incinerators have become highly controversial because of their polluting record and alleged links with disease in local people resulting from exposure to pollutants. The incineration industry has tried to rebrand its facilities as 'waste-to-energy' or 'combined heat and power' plants, in an attempt to associate it with environmentally friendly recycling.

In 2002, in response to these concerns, Greenpeace volunteers shut the incinerator down for several days by climbing its chimney.
