The total waste arisings per year for the UK reported by [[DEFRA]] in 2020 was for data reported for 2016 <ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-waste-data ~~UK Statistics on Waste 2020~~ UK Statistics on Waste 2020]</ref> and was '''221 million tonnes''', with 85% of that tonnage arising from England. This represents a reduction on the previously published information by [[DEFRA]] in 2019 on the same 2016 data, which has been adjusted retrospectively for the arisings of Common Sludges (1.4 million tonnes) and Industrial Effluent Sludges (0.5 million tonnes).
