The difference in these figures are a result of the extensive use of an exemption from waste permitting [[T8]] which allows for the handling of up to 60 tonnes of truck tyres and 40 tonnes of any other tyres in any 7 day period - waste exemptions do not require waste returns to the regulator i.e. they do not report the tonnage handled and therefroe the tonnage is not captured in the reported DEFRA figures. In 2024 the [[EA]] had just over 1,000 sites that had registered a [[T8]] exemption. | The difference in these figures are a result of the extensive use of an exemption from waste permitting [[T8]] which allows for the handling of up to 60 tonnes of truck tyres and 40 tonnes of any other tyres in any 7 day period - waste exemptions do not require waste returns to the regulator i.e. they do not report the tonnage handled and therefroe the tonnage is not captured in the reported DEFRA figures.
