The new regulations have doubled the number of reporting sites. 213 material facilities handled 6.1 million tonnes in 2025.
Our market overview, presented at the MRF & Markets Conference on 5 November 2026, is the first look at 2025 data under the new reporting regulations.
Reporting sites rose from 103 in 2024 to 213, as transfer and bulking facilities now report alongside MRFs. Input rose to 6.1 million tonnes.
Sampling has increased sharply. We estimate the cost at £6.6m to £19.9m a year, against the pEPR estimate of no more than £4.3m in additional cost.
The presentation also covers market share, material mix, gate fees and the concerns of local authorities. Detailed data for each country and each site is on WikiWaste.
