Key Waste Descriptions
The key waste descriptions in WikiWaste reflect those descriptions that exist in the four countries of the UK, with this page highlighting the key differences between the countries.
These differences have emerged over time as the devolved countries have started to define and set targets based on slightly different assumptions. Some materials are, however, consinstently defined and reported for the UK by DEFRA (ie Packaging Waste and Waste from Households).

Notes
- The schematic does not split out hazardous and non-hazardous waste

- The boundaries of Household Waste (HH) differ slighty between countries - see the table below
- The boundaries of the Local Authority Collected Waste (LACW) differ slighty between countries - see the table below
