Dioxins were become problem in 90s so smaller incinerator is banned and now incinerators must run on high temperature (> 800C) for not to emit dioxins. Emissions are also must be measured.

There are plenty of manmade chemicals that don't break down at 800C. For example F-C bonds...

We really ought to be incinerating things at 3000C, but so far we haven't been able to engineer machines to do this without melting themselves...

Of course not every material can be burned but still fine.
