==Tonnage Reported== | |||
In overall terms, the sites listed received 118,720 tonnes of [[Clinical Waste]] in 2019 and the '''HIT''' sites processed 126,788 tonnes of [[Hazardous Waste]] excluding the Clinical Waste they received, although there are some points to note in the tonnage reported: | |||
* '''Incin''' sites report Non-hazardous [[Clinical Waste]] and Hazardous [[Clinical Waste]] in slightly different ways: | |||
** Some split the Hazardous Clinical Waste tonnage out and report it as either Clinical or Hazardous Waste | |||
** Some group the Hazardous and Non-Hazardous together report it all as [[Clinical Waste]] | |||
** Some report the Hazardous tonnage as [[Hazardous Waste]], but report the Non Hazardous within the general Non Hazardous waste received | |||
* '''ClinIncin''' sites tend to report different line items in their annual report tonnages, which do not make the separation of Hazardous and Non Hazardous [[Clinical Waste]] always easy to understand | |||
* There are a few sites that may have received waste but sent it onward for processing elsewhere, either due to plant breakdown/availability or by using different treatment options for the waste received than [[incineration]] | |||
* The plated capacity is often by reference to the [[Environmental Permit]] limit, or the design capacity referenced in the annual report for the site, which ever the operating company chooses to report | |||
* Some of the '''ClinIncin''' have only recently been captured by the need to produce an annual a report | |||
* The [[Fine Environmental Services Seal Sands Facility]] is a dedicated facility for processing [[Hazardous Waste]] from the adjacent industrial facility alone | |||
* [[Hazardous Waste]] is received by '''[[Cement Kilns]]''' and is separately listed on the [[Cement Kiln]] page of WikiWaste - in 2019 it totaled 129,795 tonnes of [[Hazardous Waste]] [[EWC]] codes | |||
