Environment Report 2019

As shown in Figure 24, approximately 27,900 fewer tonnes were sent to landfill in 2018 than 2017 and almost 36,700 tonnes of total waste were reused or recycled. Disposal routes categorised as “other” include the treatment of aqueous wastes, composting and land spreading, and these also saw a sharp decline.

Of the 6,030 tonnes of decommissioning waste generated in 2018, 72 per cent was either re-used, recycled or used for power generation.
