			==Historical Levels of Incinceration==
			The historical picture for '''hazardous waste incineration''' (all [[EWC]] codes as hazardous, excluding those [[EWCChap18\|EWC chapter 18 codes]] that are hazardous and included in the analysis on [[Healthcare Waste]]) is shown in the figure below '''for England only''', with a significant proportion exported to [[R1]] incineration and sent to the four High Temperature Incinerators (HTIs). This figure excludes hazardous waste to [[Cement Kilns]].
			A listing of Hazardous Waste Incinerators is set out on the page [[High Temperature and Clinical Waste Incineration]]

	[[Hazardous Waste]] is defined within Art 3(2) of the [[Waste Framework Directive]] ([[WFD]]) as waste which displays one or more of the hazardous properties listed in Annex III (of the [[WFD]]).

	Hazardous Waste requires specialist handling and treatment as defined within the [[Waste Framework Directive]] (2008/98/EC) and is regulated by the [[Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005]] in England and Wales and by [[The Special Waste Regulations 1996]] and [[The Special Waste Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2004]] in Scotland.
