UNSD/UNEP data collection on
waste
DI Milla Neubauer, Qatar 19 June 2013
1
UNSD Environmental Indicators
 Global environment statistics on ten indicator themes
 Selected based on the current demands for international
environmental statistics and the availability of
internationally comparable data
 Statistics on Waste are based on the responses to the
biennial UNSD/UNEP Questionnaire on Environment
Statistics, complemented with comparable statistics from
OECD and Eurostat
 Waste Statistic Include: Hazardous waste generation,
Municipal waste collection, Municipal waste treatment
2
Biennial Questionnaire on
Environment Statistics
 For the first time in 1999
 Data collection on waste and water
 The sixth round took place in 2010
 Data collection from all countries except those that are
covered by the Joint OECD/Eurostat Questionnaire
3
UNSD/UNEP Questionnaire 2012
 The seventh round of UNSD’s biennial environment
statistics data collection
 There will be minor changes from the UNSD/UNEP
Questionnaire 2010
 Postponed to Sep/Oct of 2013 in order to ensure proper
revisions, methodological harmonization and synchronized
timing with the corresponding OECD/Eurostat Joint
Questionnaire on the State of the Environment
 Will include a list of relevant definitions and comprehensive
guidance to assist respondents with filling the tables

ISIC Rev.4
 The sectoral breakdown of the data on waste generation
follows the International Standard Industrial Classification
of all Economic Activities (ISIC Rev.4)
 http://unstats.un.org/unsd/cr/registry/isic-4.asp
 Allows to link environmental pressure to economic activities
10
Definitions for waste
 Waste: Materials that are not prime products (i.e., products
produced for the market) for which the generator has no
further use for his own purpose of production, transformation
or consumption, and which he discards, or intends or is
required to discard.
 Hazardous waste: Waste to be controlled according to the
Basel Convention.
 Municipal waste: Municipal waste collected by or on behalf of
municipalities, as well as municipal waste collected by the
private sector. It includes mixed waste, and fractions collected
separately for recovery operations
11
Definitions for treatment operations
 Landfilling: Final placement of waste into or onto the land in a


controlled or uncontrolled way.
Recycling: Any reprocessing of waste material in a production
process that diverts it from the waste stream, except reuse as fuel.
Incineration: The controlled combustion of waste with or without
energy recovery.
Incineration with energy recovery: Incineration in which evolving
thermal energy is used for the production of steam, hot water or
electric energy.
Composting: A biological process that submits biodegradable waste
to anaerobic or aerobic decomposition, and that results in a product
that is recovered and can be used to increase soil fertility.
12
Issues that need special attention
 Secondary wastes:
 Should be excluded from waste generation
 In the statistics on waste management secondary wastes are double
counted
 Internal recycling:
 Recycling within industrial plants i.e., at the place of generation should
be excluded
 Materials directly recycled or reused at the place of generation are
excluded from waste generation
13
Data validation
 A data validation section is added next to each reporting
table.
 Should help both the country and UNSD to validate the data
provided
 Two validation table types:
 Time series validation: an automatic check on the percentage change
from the previous year (where available)
 Coherence validation: check of coherence between variables within the
questionnaire or compared to data from outside sources
 In case of validation alerts footnotes should be provided
