Transfrontier Shipment (TFS) of Waste and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) (Wales)
Transfrontier Shipment (TFS) of waste and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) waste export data (monthly tonnage weights) from Wales to non-UK countries, since November 2014. TFS or International Waste Shipments are terms used for exporting and importing waste. The Transfrontier Shipment of Waste regulations govern the movement of recyclable materials across borders either by road, rail, ait or sea. The European Community first introduced a directive on control procedures for the shipment of hazardous waste in 1984, when it became apparent that hazardous waste from developed countries was being exported and dumped in developing countries. RDF is produced from domestic and business waste, which includes biodegradable material as well as plastics.

Tonnage weight figures based on returns (mandatory) made by exporting, receiving and processing sites for each waste load shipped or exported for energy recovery outside the UK. Weight figures supplied are not verified by Natural Resources Wales (NRW).
Information warning: Please note, the information in this report may have some outstanding return data due to the lag in processing of waste loads. The whole dataset for a given year may not be complete until the end of the following year i.e. the data for 2024 will be complete and published around the end of 2025.
