All wastes are required to have been pre-treated prior to [[Disposal]] at [[Landfill]].

[[Waste Producer|Waste producers]] must either treat their own waste and provide information about the treatment method used for ~~susequent~~ [[Waste Holder|holders]] of the [[Waste|waste]] to ensure that the waste will be treated by a subsequent holder before it is [[Landfill|landfilled]]. [[Waste Producer|Waste producers]] are not obliged to treat the waste themselves and are able to use a waste contractor to perform this function for them<ref name="CIWM" />.

==Guidance/Compliance==

The most recent publication of [[Best Available Technique]] ([[BAT]]) for [[treatment]] was in August 2018<ref>[https://eippcb.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reference/waste-treatment-0 Link to EU Waste Treatment BREF and BAT Conclusions and IED Article 13]</ref><ref>[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv%3AOJ.L_.2018.208.01.0038.01.ENG&toc=OJ%3AL%3A2018%3A208%3ATOC Link to Decision Notice 2018/1147]</ref> (building on standards that were developed in 2006 and reviewed in 2013) and the UK had 4 years to review and implement any changes that might arise.

In the UK the guidance for [[recovery]] and [[disposal]] were developed in parallel with the the EU guidance. The [[EA]] originally published their Sector Guidance Note S5.06 for 'The Recovery and Disposal of Hazardous and Non Hazardous Waste'<ref name='EA'>[https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/298118/LIT_8199_dd704c.pdf Sector Guidance Note IPPC S5.06: Guidance for the Recovery and Disposal of Hazardous and Non Hazardous Waste]</ref> in 2004, two years before the adoption of the initial EU Waste Treatments [[Best Available Technique|BREF]] in 2006, which it broadly mirrored. In May 2013 guidance S5.06<ref name='EA'/> was updated to accommodate changes following the introduction of the [[IED]] and again reflected the EU changes at the time. It also clarified, at the time, that guidance S5.07<ref name='EA'/> was the main guidance for the [[treatment]] and [[Waste Transfer Station|transfer]] of [[Hazardous Waste|hazardous waste]] as part of an addendum to the guidance.

Operators of waste activities are required to comply with guidance S5.06<ref name='EA'/>, guidance S5.07<ref>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/clinical-waste-additional-guidance</ref> and the Waste Treatments [[Best Available Technique|BREF]] for defining [[Best Available Technique]] and the associated emissions levels<ref>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sector-guidance-note-s506-recovery-and-disposal-of-hazardous-and-non-hazardous-waste</ref>.

==Final Treatment Tonnage==

The macro-level UK data reported in July 2020 by [[DEFRA]] for final treatment was for data reported for 2018<ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-waste-data UK Statistics on Waste July 2020 update]</ref>. The destination of the 214.8 million tonnes for final treatment is summarised in the figure below:
