The main complaint of environmental groups regarding the Waste Plan lies in its commitment to waste incineration. It is blamed for the fact that the construction of an incinerator plant with a capacity of 128,000 tons/year means burning 48% of the urban solid waste generated in Navarra. This would mean, they say, a mortgage for the Community's waste management policies, since it would need to be constantly fed with waste to make it profitable. In this way, the Plan would end the trajectory of more than 30 years in favor of selective collection in Navarra, and would close the door to achieving comprehensive selective collection, and to the composting of organic matter.[3]​.

These arguments led, in April 2011, to the Commonwealth of Sakana and the Sustrai Erakuntza Foundation) to present an appeal to the Waste Plan before the Superior Court of Justice of Navarra. This court, in a ruling issued in January 2013, substantially upheld the appeal, thus annulling the Plan. The ruling entered into the controversial issue of the waste incinerator, by establishing that the regional waste plans must contain determinations relating to the appropriate places and facilities for the disposal of waste, without in any way being able to leave the location of these facilities at the expense of private initiative. The ruling was appealed by the Government of Navarra.[4]​.

But, finally, the appeal of the Government of Navarra was rejected by the Supreme Court "Supreme Court (Spain)"), accepting as valid the arguments that the previous court alleged to annul the Plan. In this way, the annulment of the PIGRN 2010-2020 is definitive from the date of this ruling, January 2015.[5]​.

Parallel to the above, in March 2012 the Government of Navarra, through the then Councilor "Consejería (Spain)") of Local Administration, Roberto Jiménez (PSN-PSOE), decided to paralyze the plans for the construction of the new urban waste incinerator. The counselor stated that other options "more economical, less polluting and with less social rejection" were being considered to achieve the objectives set by the European Union. However, at no time has the Government of Navarra indicated what these options are, nor has it raised the need to re-analyze the Waste Plan.[6]​.

This fact has led social and political groups, as well as the media, to speculate with the possibility that the final destination of the waste is its incineration at the Cementos Portland Valderrivas company in Olazagutía. This option has also caused opposition between environmental groups and local entities "Local Administration (Spain)") located around the factory.
