[[DEFRA]] publish an annual digest of waste statistics and this page and the broader summary page on UK Waste ~~Tonnages~~

[[DEFRA]] publish an annual digest of waste statistics <ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-waste-data UK Statistics on Waste 2019] updating some of the 2018 Digest with 2017 data</ref> and this page and the broader summary page on [[UK Waste Tonnage]]. The headline tonnages for 2016 for the UK (from a total of 214.3 million tonnes) were:

* [[Recycling]] and [[Recovery]] 104 million tonnes (48.5%)

* [[Landfill]] 52.3 million tonnes (24.4%)

* [[Energy Recovery Facility]] 7.3 million tonnes (3.4% but the fastest growing)

*

== Split by Type of Treatment Method ==

The split by treatment method is heavily distorted by [[Soil]] and [[Mineral Waste]] contributing significantly to [[Backfilling]] and [[Landfill]] but also the [[Recycling]] and other [[Recovery]] (where some categories of application of this material to land are classified as Recovery). The majority of Household and simialr wastes were treated at an [[Energy Recovery Facility]].

== Split by Number of Permitted Facility ==

[[DEFRA]] consolidate information from each of the four UK environment agencies authorized by an [[Environmental Permit]] or similar. The data with : in the table is not available, Energy Recovery has [[R1]] status, and excludes sites exempt from requiring an [[Environmental Permit]] and intermediate treatment (which includes most [[Anaerobic Digestion]]).

== Links to other Pages ==

WikiWaste has a number of pages dedicated to summarizing specific [[Treatment]] and [[Disposal]] facilities, grouped broadly at present into:

* [[Residual Waste EFW]]

* [[Biomass Waste EFW]] (including [[Waste Wood EFW]], [[Sewage Sludge EFW]] and [[Agricultural Waste EFW]])

* [[Anaerobic Digestion Sites]]

* [[Material Recovery Facility Sites]] (handling [[Dry Mixed Recyclables]])

* [[Mechanical Biological Treatment Sites]]
