In 2019 these facilities received 118,720 tonnes of [[Clinical Waste]] and the [[HTI]]s received 126,788 tonnes of [[Hazardous Waste]], excluding the Clinical Waste they received. In addition, '''[[Cement Kilns]]''' also played a significant role in the [[disposal]] of some specific [[Hazardous Waste]] [[EWC]] codes, totaling 129,795 tonnes in 2019. | In 2019 these facilities received 118,720 tonnes of [[Clinical Waste]] and the [[HTI]]s received 126,788 tonnes of [[Hazardous Waste]], excluding the Clinical Waste they received.

The historical picture for clinical waste incineration (as defined by [[EWCChap18|EWC chapter 18 codes]]) is shown in the figure below for England only, with relatively little exported to [[R1]] incineration and a dramatic increase in MSW incineration in 2019/20 through the [[wikipedia:COVID-19 pandemic| pandemic]]. | |||

The historical picture for hazardous waste incineration (all [[EWC]] codes as hazardous, excluding those [[EWCChap18|EWC chapter 18 codes]] that are hazardous and included in the graph above) is shown in the figure below for England only, with a significant proportion exported to [[R1]] incineration and to the limited number of High Temperature Incinerators (HTIs). | |||
