answer text <p>An assessment of England’s municipal waste treatment capacity – including incineration with energy recovery – was set out in the Resources and Waste Strategy and the associated Evidence Annex published in December 2018. Existing operational capacity is sufficient to treat around 36% of municipal residual waste at current levels. While energy from waste plays an important role in diverting waste from landfill, our emphasis is on greater waste prevention, re-use or recycling.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The answer to Question 206757 records that 1892 Agreements lasted the full ten years. A total of 1677 of these received one or more visits. While this data suggests 215 of these agreements did not receive a visit, this data has only been held since 2014 and does not record where visits may have occurred in the years prior to this date.</p> more like this
