National Study into Commercial and Industrial Waste Arisings

April 2009

Data on the amount of waste produced by business has  historically been extremely difficult to obtain. The Environment Agency produced an estimate of the amount of commercial and industrial waste arising in England in 2002, but this information requires updating.

In 2006, the North West Regional Technical Advisory Body commissioned a study from consultants Urban Mines to find out how much waste was produced in that region.

In 2009, the Chairs of all the Regional Technical Advisory Bodies (RTABs) in England agreed to use this work to calculate how much waste is produced in each of the other English Regions. The study was funded jointly by all the English RTABs (other than the North West) with a steering group led by the East of England.

This study was carried out by Glyn Jones of ADAS.
