Environmental accounts; origin and destination of waste

Description

As part of the Environmental Accounts, CBS sets out annually the waste accounts together. Here you can find where the waste comes from (the origin) and where it goes (the destination). Waste is here divided into the categories of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The origin of the amount of waste in households, different business classes and imports are presented. At the destination of waste a distinction is made according to processing methods (re-use, incineration and dumping/loosing) and export. The categories of waste in the waste accounts are classified on the basis of European waste statistics Regulation. The waste accounts allow for different types of waste indicators (e.g. total amount of waste generated) on compare consistently with macroeconomic indicators (such as gross domestic product). In addition, the waste accounts very suitable for analysis of, for example, the cause of changes of waste indicators over time. Waste streams in waste accounts are limited to waste that is directly is released in productive or consumer activities. To double counting prevent waste generated after treatment (waste from waste) disregarded as much as possible. Outside the waste accounts cover the use of products on, inter alia, agricultural land (pesticides) and roads (salt). Also not included is waste generated as a result of for example, erosion and corrosion of infrastructure, abrasion of car tires and brake discs and engine oil leakage. Continue to be contaminated soil which cannot be allocated to a given year or certain polluters, not included for methodological reasons. Also material flows resulting from excavation, dredging or mining not taken. Finally, radioactive waste is excluded from consideration. left. This table was discontinued on 18 November 2011.
