Evaluation of Opportunities for Converting Indigenous UK Wastes to Wastes and Energy
AEA/ED45551/Issue 1
• Paper waste arises largely from MSW and C&I waste streams, and totals between 12 and 13
million tonnes of recoverable paper and board each year, of which 7.3 million tonnes is from
MSW, 2.7 million tonnes from industry and 6 million tonnes is from commercial waste. However

tonnes. It is estimated that arisings of this waste material will increase by a small amount in the
future.
The potential for these fuels are summarised in Table 47
