Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 30 November 2017 to Question 115115, on Waste Disposal: Incinerators, how much and what proportion of that waste is (a) food waste, (b) paper and card waste and (c) wood waste.

Data for waste arisings and treatment are not structured specifically around material streams, so we cannot provide detailed information on the fate of incinerated waste. Large tonnages of incinerated waste are reported as “mixed” waste categories, for which we do not have estimates of food, paper/card, or wood content.
