	The difference in these figures are a result of the extensive use of an exemption from waste permitting [[Waste Exemptions\|T8]] which allows for the handling of up to 60 tonnes of truck tyres and 40 tonnes of any other tyres in any 7 day period - waste exemptions did not require waste returns to the regulator i.e. they did not report the tonnage handled and therefore the tonnage is not captured in the reported DEFRA figures. This ~~changed~~ in July 2025 with a requirment to record tonnage handled<ref>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reforming-the-waste-exemptions-system</ref> under exemptions and the [[Waste Exemptions\|T8]] ~~exemption is~~ to ~~be removed from October 2025~~.

The difference in these figures are a result of the extensive use of an exemption from waste permitting [[Waste Exemptions\|T8]] which allows for the handling of up to 60 tonnes of truck tyres and 40 tonnes of any other tyres in any 7 day period - waste exemptions did not require waste returns to the regulator i.e. they did not report the tonnage handled and therefore the tonnage is not captured in the reported DEFRA figures. This approach will change in the future, with the [[EA]] publishing in July 2025 an intention to modify the relevant regulation with a requirment to record tonnage handled<ref>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reforming-the-waste-exemptions-system</ref> under exemptions and the intention to the remove the [[Waste Exemptions\|T8]] within 3 months of the change to the regulation. In 2024 the [[EA]] had just over 1,000 sites that had registered a [[Waste Exemptions\|T8]] exemption.
