Historically, the UK has been very dependent on [[Landfill]] or [[Incineration without Energy Recovery]] for [[Disposal]] of [[Residual Waste]]. The landfill diversion targets set in the mid 1990s promoted [[EfW]] developments. The diversion of residual waste away from [[Landfill]] and into [[EfW]] processes was intended to reduce emissions of methane and pollution originating from [[Landfill]] sites and increase production of renewable energy<ref name="foo" />. [[Energy from Waste]] is the now the main method for dealing with [[Residual Waste]], with [[Landfill]] of [[Residual Waste]] being the least preferred method, as outlined in the [[Waste Hierarchy]]<ref name="foo" />.

[[Energy from Waste]] is the now the main method for dealing with [[Residual Waste]], with [[Landfill]] of [[Residual Waste]] being the least preferred method, as outlined in the [[Waste Hierarchy]]<ref name="foo" />.


In 202, the amount of residual waste that was sent to [[EfW]] processes in the UK increased by 5.2%, amounting to a total of 16.12 kt being sent to 60 operational EfW facilities across the UK<ref name="foo2> [https://www.tolvik.com/published-reports/view/uk-energy-from-waste-statistics-2023// Derived from Tolvik EFW Statistics 2023, Published May 2024]</ref>. This was against a headline/plated capacity of 18.45 kt of operational capacity and a further 5.48 kt of late stage commissioning and in construction 'plated' capacity at that time. This represented 75.4% of [[Local Authority Collected Waste]] with the balance from [[Commercial and Industrial Waste]]<ref name="foo2" />. The total net power exported from [[EfW]] facilities in 2023 was 9,676 GWh, this supplied 3.1% of the total UK power generation, and gives an average of 605 kWh of power generated per tonne of residual waste treated at UK [[EfW]] facilities<ref name="foo2" />.
In 2024, the amount of residual waste that was sent to [[EfW]] processes in the UK increased by 4.3%, amounting to a total of 16.8 kt being sent to 63 operational EfW facilities across the UK<ref name="foo2> [https://www.tolvik.com/published-reports/view/uk-energy-from-waste-statistics-2023// Derived from Tolvik EFW Statistics 2024, Published April 2025]</ref>. This was against a headline/plated capacity of 19.34 kt of operational capacity and a further 4.85 kt of late stage commissioning and in construction 'plated' capacity at that time. This represented 74.4% of [[Local Authority Collected Waste]] with the balance from [[Commercial and Industrial Waste]]<ref name="foo2" />. The total net power exported from [[EfW]] facilities in 2024 was 10,040 GWh, this supplied 3.6% of the total UK power generation, and gives an average of 600 kWh of power generated per tonne of residual waste treated at UK [[EfW]] facilities<ref name="foo2" />.

The graph below displays how the tonnage of residual waste processes by UK [[EfW]] facilities has changed over recent years, and is based on that received rather than the 'plated' capacity of the plants in operation and construction (23.93 kt reported by Tolvik<ref name="foo2" /> at the end of 2023, whereas this page reports '''{{formatnum: {{#expr: {{#var: opston}} + {{#var: ucston}}}}}} kt''' as at March 2021).
