Answer

What is Son Reus in Palma used for?

Son Reus is Mallorca’s waste-to-energy plant in Palma, where residual waste can be incinerated. In the proposed scheme, waste from Ibiza and Formentera would be brought there by ferry for treatment. Any increase in volume also raises questions about capacity, emissions, and how the plant would handle extra material safely.
