Historically, the UK has been very dependent on [[Landfill]] or [[Incineration]] without energy recovery for [[Disposal]] of [[Residual Waste]]. The landfill diversion targets set in the mid 1990s promoted [[EfW]] developments. The diversion of residual waste away from [[Landfill]] and into [[EfW]] processes reduces emissions of methane and pollution originating from [[Landfill]] sites and increases production of renewable energy<ref name="foo" />.
