If an [[Incineration]] facility can be shown to meet the energy efficiency measurement of [[R1]] it can be classified as a [[recovery]] facility, if it cannot it is classified as a [[disposal]] facility<ref>https://data.gov.uk/dataset/8287c81b-2288-4f14-9068-52bfda396402/r1-status-of-incinerators-in-england</ref>. This means that an incinerator that generates power, and is a net exporter of power, can be described as an [[Energy from Waste]]([[EfW]]) facility. An incinerator that is an [[EfW]] facility that meets the [[R1]] criteria is the only type of incinerator under the legislation that can legitimately describe itself as an '''[[Energy Recovery Facility]]''' ([[ERF]]). | If an [[Incineration]] facility can be shown to meet the energy efficiency measurement of [[R1]] it can be classified as a [[recovery]] facility, if it cannot it is classified as a [[disposal]] facility<ref>https://data.gov.uk/dataset/8287c81b-2288-4f14-9068-52bfda396402/r1-status-of-incinerators-in-england</ref>.

* waste origin (e.g. Municipal Incinerators), '''and in WikiWaste includes [[Residual Waste EFW]] and [[Biomass Waste EFW]]''', | * waste origin (e.g. Municipal Incinerators), '''and in WikiWaste includes [[Residual Waste EFW]] and [[Biomass Waste EFW]]''', | ||
* the nature of the waste (e.g. Hazardous Waste Incinerators), | * the nature of the waste (e.g. Hazardous Waste Incinerators), | ||
* the method/type of incineration (e.g. High Temperature Incinerators). | * the method/type of incineration (e.g. High Temperature Incinerators) | ||
In WikiWaste these last two bullet points are covered in '''[[High Temperature and Clinical Waste Incineration]]'''. | |||
However, there are a range of other terms used in the sector to describe different types of [[Incineration|incineration]], the kiln/furnace used, and the [[subsidy]] that may apply to them, and these are captured in the table below: | However, there are a range of other terms used in the sector to describe different types of [[Incineration|incineration]], the kiln/furnace used, and the [[subsidy]] that may apply to them, and these are captured in the table below: | ||
