The [[WRAP]] report does not analyse the proportion of [[Animal By-product Material]], but the nature of the material and its category (i.e. whether its Cat. 1, 3 or 3) will determine, to a large extent, the type of [[disposal]]/[[treatment]] and operational route required to meet the regulations. The table above shows that around 1,900,000 tonnes of Food Waste was treated via [[recycling]], with the remainder staying in mixed waste streams that are treated via [[recovery]] or [[landfill]]. This is primarily a function of the ease of collecting Food Waste from producers and the associated cost, which means that a large proportion (around 80% in the above table) is still not separately collected for [[recycling]]. The primary route for [[recycling]] of Food Waste that has been separately collected is [[Anaerobic Digestion]], whereas [[In Vessel Composting]] is the primary route for Food Waste collected mixed with [[Green Waste]].
