In 2019 these facilities received 118,720 tonnes of [[Clinical Waste]] and the [[HTI]]s received 126,788 tonnes of [[Hazardous Waste]], excluding the Clinical Waste they received. In addition, '''[[Cement Kilns]]''' also played a significant role in the [[disposal]] of some specific [[Hazardous Waste]] [[EWC]] codes, totaling 129,795 tonnes in 2019. | |||

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic the [[EA]] published a Regulatory Position Statement (RPS C23) clarifying the circumstances where COVID-19 waste can be [[Incineration|incinerated]] with Municipal Waste Waste ([[MSW]]) until July 2021. <ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/incinerating-specified-healthcare-wastes-at-a-municipal-waste-incinerator-rps-c23/incinerating-specified-healthcare-wastes-at-a-municipal-waste-incinerator-rps-c23#conditions-you-must-comply-with RPS C23]</ref>. Out of all [[Residual Waste EFW]] sites, 21 received [[Clinical Waste]] in 2019 and/or 2018, with some, such as [[Tyseley ERF]], having a long history of receiving [[Clinical Waste]] and others currently applying to accept [[Clinical Waste]] in the longer term, such as [[Sheffield ERF]], to enable continued receipt of this waste after RPS C23 expires. | |||
== | ==Reporting== | ||
Sites tend to report different line items in their annual report tonnages, which do not make the separation of Hazardous and Non Hazardous [[Clinical Waste]] always easy to understand: | |||
* '' | * They do not report waste received broken down by [[EWC]] codes in their annual reports and indeed: | ||
** Some split the Hazardous Clinical Waste tonnage out and report it as either Clinical or Hazardous Waste | ** Some of the 'ClinIncin' have only recently been captured by the need to produce an annual a report | ||
** Some split the Hazardous Clinical Waste tonnage out and report it as either [[Clinical]] or [[Hazardous Waste]] | |||
** Some group the Hazardous and Non-Hazardous together report it all as [[Clinical Waste]] | ** Some group the Hazardous and Non-Hazardous together report it all as [[Clinical Waste]] | ||
** Some report the Hazardous tonnage as [[Hazardous Waste]], but report the Non Hazardous within the general Non Hazardous waste received | ** Some report the Hazardous tonnage as [[Hazardous Waste]], but report the Non Hazardous Clinical within the general Non Hazardous waste received | ||
* There are a few sites that may have received waste but sent it onward for processing elsewhere, either due to plant breakdown/availability or by using different treatment options for the waste received than [[incineration]] in the case of 'ClinIncin' sites | |||
