Waste balance, key figures; national accounts, 1990-2012

This table contains figures on the amount of waste that is released (origin) and where it goes (destination). At the destination of waste, a distinction is made between treatment methods (reuse, incineration and landfill/freezing) and exports. The waste balance is the result of the waste accounts drawn up in the context 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 to 2012. Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Changes as of 30 September 2016: None, this table has been discontinued. When are new figures coming? This table is followed by Waste balance, key figures; national accounts. See paragraph 3.
