Whilst the macro numbers show 3,362,970 tonnes the general view of several market commentators <ref> , [https://woodrecyclers.org/ Wood Recycling Association website] 4.5mt; [https://www.tolvik.com/published-reports/view/uk-dedicated-biomass-statistics-2017/ Tolvik 2017 Report] 5.0mt and Anthesis (Tolvik report reference unobtainable) 5.7mt</ref> was that the total wood arising was between 4,500,000 and 5,700,000 tonnes in 2014/15 and this can be accounted for a the [[DEFRA]] data being unable to identify wood in the mixed waste streams - this wood then may or may not be pulled out at [[MRF]]s or other similar [[Treatment]] facilities to make this wood available for [[Recycling]] and [[Recovery]].
