==Efficiency==

Where an EFW facility meets the standards of efficiency set out in the Europeans ~~Commissions~~ Guidelines on the [[R1]] energy efficiency formula in Annex II of Directive 2008/98/EC, it can be considered an [[Energy Recovery Facility]] or [[R1]] facility and to achieve this a plant may need [[CHP]] as part of its solution.

==Inputs==

Often, but not in all cases, before waste is inputted into the EfW process a pre-treatment of this waste is needed. This can include a sorting process that extracts the recyclable material, is able to manipulate the properties of the feedstock such as [[Calorific Value]], [[Biomass]] content, [[Moisture Content]] and the size of the feedstock particles through processes like shredding. Different types of pre-treatment include subjecting waste to a [[Mechanical Sorting Plant]], [[Mechanical Biological Treatment]] (MBT), or [[Mechanical Heat Treatment]] (MHT)<ref name='ref2'>Defra, 2014.
