[[Construction and Demolition Waste]] ([[C&D Waste]]) generated ~~in the UK in 2018 was 67.8 million tonnes. It is~~ defined within Directive 2018/851 amending Directive 2008/98/EC on waste (the [[Waste Framework Directive]]) ~~as "waste generated by construction and demolition activities"~~. [[Construction, Demolition and Excavation waste (mining waste)]] ([[CD&E Waste]]) includes excavation materials~~, which took the total [[CD&E Waste]] in the UK to 137.8 million tonnes in 2018, with a further 14.8 million tonnes of mining waste~~.

[[Construction, Demolition and Excavation waste (mining waste)]] ([[CD&E Waste]]) includes excavation materials.

Under the [[Waste Framework Directive]] there is a target to for the [[Recovery]] of non-hazardous C&D waste of 70% by 2020, which the UK is currently meeting even taking into consideration the high level of uncertainty around the absolute tonnage figures. The large proportion of this waste is used as a [[Secondary Aggregate]] in construction.

[[DEFRA]] statistics published in July 2021 show that there was 67.8 million tonnes of [[C&D Waste]] generated in 2018, with the addition of excavation waste taking the total [[CD&E Waste]] generated in the UK in 2018 to 137.8 million tonnes, with a further 14.8 million tonnes of mining waste<ref name='ref1'>[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-waste-data UK Statistics on Waste - May 2022 update]</ref>.
