Who takes it
48 permitted sites in England recorded taking 10 13 14 in their 2024 returns to the Environment Agency.
What happens to it
The recovery or disposal code those sites recorded most for 10 13 14 in 2024 (the code each site used for most of its tonnes):
| Code | Means | Sites |
|---|
| R5 | recycling other inorganic materials | 35% |
| R13 | storage pending recovery | 29% |
| D5 | | 10% |
| D9 | physico-chemical treatment | 8% |
The right code is the one on your own permit and transfer notes - this is what other sites did, not a rule. R and D codes explained.
