~~The [[R1]] status~~ of an [[~~Energy from~~ Waste]] (~~[[EfW]]~~) ~~facility classifies it as an~~ [[~~Energy~~ Recovery ~~Facility~~]] ~~rather than~~ as ~~a disposal~~ operation ~~such as~~ a ~~D10 operation - incineration on Land. The EU standard sets~~ a ~~requirement~~ to ~~meet high levels~~ of ~~power conversion efficiency to classify it as an R1 (and may need to be a CHP facility to fully meet~~ the ~~guidance~~).

Article 3 of the [[Waste Framework Directive]] (WFD) 2008/98/EC defines '[[Recovery]]' as:

'any operation the principal result of which is waste serving a useful purpose by replacing other materials which would otherwise have been used to fulfill a particular function, or waste being prepared to fulfill that function, in the plant or in the wider economy'. Annex II (of the [[WFD]]) sets out a non-exhaustive list of recovery operations.

==Definition of Recovery==

==Recovery Facility Definition Applied to Energy from Waste==

The [[R1]] status of an [[Energy from Waste]] ([[EfW]]) facility classifies it as an [[Energy Recovery Facility]] rather than as a [[Disposal |disposal]] operation such as a D10 operation - incineration on Land. 'Disposal' on the otherhand is defined as:

'any operation which is not recovery even where the operation has as a secondary consequence the reclamation of substances or energy'. Annex I (of the [[WFD]]) sets out a non-exhaustive list of disposal operations.

==Qualifying for R1 Status==

To qualify as R1 status the [[EfW]] facility must :

* Have or will have an [[Environmental Permit]] for a waste incineration installation
