Notes:

1. Figures do not always add up to 100% as there is a fourth ‘other’ category.
2. In some cases figures total over 100% as it may include waste from the previous year.
3. Rounding may also lead to some percentage changes being slightly higher or lower than the difference between the two figures: in this situation please check the full spreadsheet for more detailed figures.
4. Some annual returns in Scotland are incomplete comparing 2014 and 2022. This is because, at some authorities, data on incineration was not collected back in 2014. Other authorities have also not submitted an annual return for 2022 in the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) data.
