<p>The best environmental outcome for waste that cannot be either prevented or prepared
for reuse is for material to be recycled. However, we know that that is not always
possible. Where waste cannot be reused or recycled, the Government supports maximising
the value of residual waste through recovering energy, including supplying electricity
or heat, or through use as a fuel.</p><p> </p><p>The process of converting waste into
fuels is an energy recovery operation for the purposes of the waste hierarchy. We
do not consider it the role of the waste hierarchy to determine the priority of recovery
processes through which residual waste should be managed. There is nothing preventing
the production of fuel from residual waste if this is determined to be the best overall
value for money and environmental outcome for non-recyclable wastes. We therefore
have no plans to change the position of sustainable aviation fuel within the waste
hierarchy.</p>
