OVAM - Industrial waste and secondary raw materials data (in Dutch)

Info

Primary industrial waste is the set of wastes generated by the original waste producer. Secondary industrial waste is waste generated by companies that process waste (the waste processors). Primary industrial waste is often broken down by sector, type of waste, processing method and company size. Contaminated soil, water treatment sludge and construction and demolition waste are often not included because the Flemish environmental policy does not aim to reduce these three streams. Moreover, these wastes are released very irregularly, often causing fluctuations between years that mean little in reality.
OVAM estimates the production of primary industrial waste using an extrapolation based on data from a sample of companies. The selected companies report their waste through the Integral Environmental Annual Report (Integraal Milieujaarverslag, IMJV). This sample is optimised for extrapolations based on sector and dimension.
