| [[Waste Wood]] || Defined by the Wood Recycling Association Grading structure of A-C Wood tonnage fluctuates marginally throughout the year with the highest tonnages available during the summer months. The tonnage of wood is also heavily influenced by the level of activity in the construction sector although other sources are commercial packaging and wood delivered to household recycling sites. | | [[Waste Wood]] || Defined by the Wood Recycling Association Grading structure of A-C Wood tonnage fluctuates marginally throughout the year with the highest tonnages available during the summer months.

As of Qtr 1 2019 there are currently 23 waste wood facilities operating in the UK with another 3 taking a combination of waste wood and virgin wood and one a mixture of wood and MBM; 7 facilities are currently under construction. || 1.63 | ||

| [[Meat and Bone Meal]] ([[MBM]]) || MBM is the product of the rendering industry and under the Animal By-Products Regulations can only be disposed of via incineration with Category 2 disposed of by pressure rendering and then at an approved AD facility. Very little Cat. 2 material is processed separately from Cat. 1 so the main focus of the analysis is on Cat. 1. | | [[Meat and Bone Meal]] ([[MBM]]) || MBM is the product of the rendering industry and under the Animal By-Products Regulations can only be disposed of via incineration with Category 2 disposed of by pressure rendering and then at an approved AD facility.

As of Qtr 1 2019 there are only two main facilities treating this waste stream with a third due on line at some point in the near future. Industry prediction is that this waste stream is expected to remain in balance. || 0.18 | ||

There are four plants currently in operation treating in the region of 1.0Mtpa with the dominant markets for straw (animal bedding/feed) taking up around 80% of supply. Poultry Litter is sent to three large scale facilities with remaining tonnage sent to AD facilities and used in agriculture as a fertiliser. || 1.37 | ||

| [[Sewage Sludge]] || This waste stream is now managed exclusively in the UK as part of waste water integrated treatment process by the sewerage undertakers (two plants operated by Thames Water and the third by United Utilities). The trend in the sector is increasingly to use advanced AD to extract energy from the biogas generated. || 0.10 | | [[Sewage Sludge]] || This waste stream is now managed exclusively in the UK as part of waste water integrated treatment process by the sewerage undertakers (two plants operated by Thames Water and the third by United Utilities).
