The recycling rate for [[CD&E Waste]] is generally reported as a [[recovery]] rate, and was around 91% for the UK in the most recent DEFRA data<ref>[https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/918270/UK_Statistics_on_Waste_statistical_notice_March_2020_accessible_FINAL_updated_size_12.pdf UK Statistics on Waste - DEFRA March 2020]</ref>.

For [[Commercial and Industrial Waste]] the recovery and recycling rates are less accurately understood and reported, as many of the facilities that handle the recyclable materials are exempt from [[Environmental Permit|permitting]] and the associated reporting requirements.
