Often, an ERF is seen more specifically in the context of an [[Energy from Waste]] ([[EfW]]) receiving [[Municipal Solid Waste]] achieving (or anticipated to achieve) [[R1]] status. It does not necessarily mean that that an ERF is one that uses [[ATT]] or [[ACT]] processes such as [[Gasification]] and [[Pyrolysis]], despite it often being discussed or used in this context.

In the UK, energy recovery is the waste management process that is showing the largest increase in the amount of waste that it is receiving. The amount of waste being sent to [[ERF]]s almost quadrupled from 2014 to 2016, increasing from 1.9 million tonnes to 7.3 million tonnes<ref name='ref1' />. The tonnage of waste sent to [[ERF]]s has now surpassed that sent to [[Incineration]] without energy recovery<ref name='ref1' />.
