Opportunities and drivers
ELT treatment
- Highest percentage of ELT arising is diverted into energy recovery, followed by material recovery. Energy and material recovery numbers increased slightly on average with increasing ELT arising.
- Fluctuations in ratio for civil engineering and backfilling (yet remains throughout comparatively insignificant) – and here not shown separately.
Major changes in legislation/policy since 2016
