The statistics shows the fossil CO2 emissions from waste incineration and their cost to society in the United Kingdom in 2017. According to calculations by the source, the cost to society of fossil CO2 from incineration amounted to 324.5 million British pounds that year, based on the non-traded carbon price of the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, which was listed at 65.11 British pounds.

The source adds the following information: "The report is focused on estimating the 'carbon price' of the direct release of CO2 that derives from the incineration of fossil-based feedstock such as plastic.The carbon associated with wood, paper, card, kitchen and garden waste can be classified as 'biogenic carbon', whereas carbon derived from oil (including plastics), natural gas and coal is known as 'fossil carbon'.
This report's financial calculations focus on fossil carbon."
