The goal of this article is answering the question about what role can be played - as well as what role is actually being played - by thermal waste processing plants in Poland. The beginning of the XXI century is a time of new pro-environmental ideas. This is associated with an increase in the awareness of societies regarding the necessity of protecting the planet that we live on, as well as with the depletion of the natural resources that are at our disposal. In the face of such intense environmental changes, it is necessary to reclaim resources in order to reuse them. This necessity creates new spatial and social challenges for modern cities and their residents. One of these challenges is the construction of thermal waste processing plants, including those that process solid municipal waste. Even though currently the construction of such a building is a pro-environmental action, beneficial to a city and its inhabitants, a safe endeavour, and, furthermore - as examples of good practice from countries that have been using thermal waste processing technologies for a long time - beneficial in spatial and social terms, the construction of a thermal waste processing plant is a very emotional topic that often meets with opposition from local residents. In this article, the author presents example of Polish practice in the construction of thermal waste processing plants and searches for an answer to the question regarding what causes social opposition and how it can be countered.
