Waste balance, key figures; national accounts
Description
This table contains figures on the amount of waste released (origin) and where it goes (destination). In the case of origin, a distinction is made between origin from the Dutch economy and abroad. At the destination of waste, a distinction is made between treatment methods in the Netherlands (reuse, incineration and landfill/freezing) and exports.
The waste balance is part of CBS’s environmental accounts. The environmental accounts quantify the relationship between the economy and the environment. In order to achieve a consistent statistical description of this relationship, environmental accounts are aligned with the classifications and definitions of the national accounts. As a result, environmental figures from the environmental accounts deviate from the environmental figures elsewhere on CBS website in a number of cases.
Data available from 1990.
Status of the figures:
The 2018 figures are provisional. Older years are final.
Changes as of February 2021
Preliminary figures for the year 2018 have been added.
The time series has been revised because a revision of the method has taken place. The main changes to the revision are: 1) new calculation for the determination of incineration, landfill and discharge and reuse of waste in the Netherlands; 2) the import and export of waste includes re-exports, this has not previously been taken into account; 3) non-hazardous ground waste is no longer taken into account; 4) review of the waste on the green list from international trade statistics; 5) revision of the source data.
When are new figures coming?
Figures are published every two years. Next publication in autumn 2022.
