The overall size of the '''Wood Waste market''' in the UK is estimated to be between 4,500,000 tonnes and 5,000,000 tonnes, categorized into Grades A to D accordingly to its level of contamination. [[DEFRA]] figures accounted for 3,362,970 tonnes of wood waste segregated primarily for uses in animal bedding, as recycled wood panel board and in [[Biomass EFW]]. The use in [[Biomass EFW]] has increased rapidly over recent years to 1,630,000 tonnes in 2017 to 1,923,783 tonnes in 2018. Whilst tonnage data is presently not available for 2019, if all capacity is delivered in [[Biomass EFW]] that are in operation (and ignoring those in development) the capacity would exceed 3,500,000 tonnes which would be unsustainable for the overall in the market.
The overall size of the '''Wood Waste market''' in the UK is estimated to be between '''4,500,000 tonnes and 5,000,000 tonnes''', categorized into Grades A to D accordingly to its level of contamination. [[DEFRA]] figures accounted for 3,362,970 tonnes of wood waste in their most recent 2016 figures, the remaining tonnage being left in mixed waste streams. The separated wood waste is primarily used in animal bedding, as recycled wood panel board and in [[Biomass EfW]]. The use in [[Biomass EfW]] has increased rapidly over recent years to 1,630,000 tonnes in 2017 to around 2,000,000 tonnes in 2018. Whilst tonnage data is presently not available for 2019, if all capacity is delivered in [[Biomass EfW]] plants that are in operation (and ignoring those in development) the capacity would exceed 3,000,000 tonnes, dramatically changing the supply-demand characteristics of the market and sustainability and balance of the overall market.
