Waste balance, type of waste by sector; national accounts, 2008-2012

This table contains figures on the amount of waste released (origin) and where it goes (destination). On this basis, the flows of different wastes can be tracked. The origin of the amount of waste from households, different business classes and imports is presented. 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: 2008 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, type of waste by sector; national accounts. See paragraph 3.
