In 2020 these facilities received 131,944 tonnes of [[Clinical Waste]] (with no reporting by two sites) and the [[HTI]]s received 123,636 tonnes of [[Hazardous Waste]], excluding the Hazardous Clinical Waste they received. In addition, '''[[Cement Kilns]]''' also played a significant role in the [[disposal]] of some specific [[Hazardous Waste]] [[EWC]] codes, totaling 102,231 tonnes in 2020 (although no data was recorded for three of the cement kilns).

==Historical Levels of Incineration==
The historical picture for '''hazardous waste incineration''' (all [[EWC]] codes as hazardous, excluding those [[EWCChap18|EWC chapter 18 codes]] that are hazardous and included in the graph above) is shown in the figure below '''for England only''', with a significant proportion exported to [[R1]] incineration and sent to the four High Temperature Incinerators (HTIs). This figure excludes hazardous waste to [[Cement Kilns]].

The historical picture for '''clinical waste incineration''' (as defined by [[EWCChap18|EWC chapter 18 codes]]) is shown in the figure below '''for England only''', with relatively little exported to [[R1]] incineration and a dramatic increase in MSW incineration in 2019/20 through the [[wikipedia:COVID-19 pandemic| pandemic]].
