	The [[Loss of Ignition]] Test ([[LoI]]) is a test to measure the biodegradable and/or combustible element of the waste being disposed into [[Landfill]] and is indicative of the likely pollution potential. It has special relevance to [[Landfill Tax]] and the appropriate rate to be charged. The test was focused on the fine material from waste processing from 2015 with the introduction of the Landfill Tax (Qualifying Fines)(No.2) Order 2015<ref>http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/1385/pdfs/uksi_20151385_en.pdf</ref> which required LoI with less than 10% to qualify for the lower rate of [[Landfill Tax]] (with a transitional period with a LoI up to 15%).
