Waste that is uniform in nature ~~(e.g. steel cans, plastic bottles)~~. There are 2 key aspects to classifying a waste as homogeneous:

[[Homogeneous Waste]] is [[waste]] that is uniform in nature. There are 2 key aspects to classifying a waste as homogeneous:

*a process with demonstrably consistent, well characterised, and controlled inputs/raw materials that do not vary in composition or quantity, and

*the results from the sampling demonstrate that no statistical difference exists between samples taken over the time period (i.e. one batch is the same as any other)<ref>Environment Agency, 2015. Waste Classification. Guidance on the classification and assessment of waste (1st Edition v1.1 ). Technical Guidance WM3. SEPA, Environment Agency, NIEA, Natural Resources Wales.</ref>.

The Homogenisation of waste is a common process used in the production of [[Waste Derived Fuel]] preparation, to meet a specific feedstock requirement of an [[Energy from Waste]] (EfW) facility<ref>WRAP (2012).

Homogenous waste is preferred for [[EfW]] processes as it provides consistent outputs and reliable electricity/heat/chemical generation.
