Table explanation


This table contains information about the origin and destination of waste of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. For the years 2002 to 2008 also a distinction is made between waste products and waste residuals. In the table different waste flows can be followed.
The origin of the amount of waste of households, different industries and import is presented. At destination side a distinction is made between different ways of treatment (recycling, incineration and disposal on land) and export. The waste accounts are suitable for analysis, for example the causes of changes of waste indicators over time.

Data available from: 1990-2010
As from 24 July 2015, the table is discontinued. Waste accounts have been revised in 2015 because the quality of some of the data sources was no longer sufficient. Two new tables are available: Waste balance, kind of waste per sector; national accounts and Waste balance, key figures; national accounts. (See section 3). In the new tables, the distinction between waste products and waste residuals is no longer available, just as the distinction between hazardous and non-hazardous waste. The table Waste balance, kind of waste per sector; national accounts contains detailed figures available from 2008 onwards. The table Waste balance, key figures; national accounts contains a time series from 1990 onwards, on a less detailed level..

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table for the last two years are provisional. As the table is discontinued, the figures will not be made final.

Changes as of July 24, 2015:
None, this is a discontinued table.

When will new figures be published?
Not applicable.
