Quality and validity

Lineage

This is self reported data by the operator. The regulations require qualifying Materials Facilities to provide quarterly details of the mixed waste tonnage received from each supplier and the output tonnage dispatched by 4 specified materials streams. Facilities are also required to take samples of the input and output materials and identify the average percentage of target, non-target and non-recyclable material. For mixed waste inputs samples must be taken for every 125 tonnes received from each supplier (except where the mixed waste is being transferred to another MF for separating into specified output material). For specified output material (SOM) the sampling frequency for paper SOM changed to 1 sample for every 60 tonnes produced and for plastic SOM sampling, frequency changed to 1 sample for every 15 tonnes produced. Best Practice Methodology guidance has been produced by WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) and operators are recommended to follow it. As the regulator Natural Resources Wales undertakes annual compliance activities which include advising operators on sampling and reporting requirements and assessing compliance with them. Operator waste returns are public register information unless a claim for commercial confidentiality has been accepted. In these cases the data is not provided. All tonnage data is reported by site operators. Numbers are based on all correct returns held by NRW at the time of report collation. They do not include waste returns that are outstanding or pending quality assurance action.
