</p><p> </p><p>The above table details the quantity of UK electronic waste received
at Approved Authorised Treatment facilities for treatment and subsequent recycling
for the period 2010 to 2018. This data only reflects electronic waste received at
sites which have been approved as part of the WEEE regulations to issue WEEE evidence
in support of the financial obligations placed on EEE producers.</p><p> </p><p>There
are other waste operators, who will hold a permit issued under the Environmental Permitting
regulations who will also be treating and recycling WEEE delivered to them outside
of the WEEE producer Responsibility system. Such operators are not required under
their data reporting requirement to provide specific WEEE data.</p><p> </p><p>Defra
make a substantiated estimate on this additional WEEE treated and recycled, when reporting
the UK position to the EU. The substantiated estimate is for an additional 270,000
tonnes per annum of WEEE being treated and recycled in addition to amounts detailed
in the above table.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
