Within waste terms [[Incineration]] is a form of waste treatment which involves the combustion of waste materials, typically [[Municipal Solid Waste]].<ref name="Inc">[https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/221036/pb13889-incineration-municipal-waste.pdf Incineration of Municipal Waste], [[DEFRA]] 2013</ref>

Typically, incineration plant combustion temperatures are in excess of 850°C and the waste is converted into carbon dioxide and water. Any non-combustible materials (e.g. metals, glass) remain as a solid, known as Bottom Ash, which contains a small amount of residual carbon.<ref name="Inc" />

Typically, incineration plant combustion temperatures are in excess of 850°C and the waste is converted into carbon dioxide and water. '''High Temperature Incineration''' is generally considered to be around 1100°C and i focused on [[Hazardous Waste]] disposal. Any non-combustible materials (e.g. metals, glass) remain as a solid, known as Bottom Ash, which contains a small amount of residual carbon.<ref name="Inc" />

In legal terms, a ‘waste incineration plant’ means any stationary or mobile technical unit and equipment dedicated to the thermal treatment of waste, with or without recovery of the combustion heat generated.
