Indicator 10. Share of non-recyclable waste generated in the port area

Indicator

Waste generated in the port area, excluding ship generated waste. This indicator is relative, expressed as a share, comparing the amount of generated waste in the port area that can be recycled, reused or repurposed, to the total amount of collected waste.

How to measure its value

Waste handling reports from waste management operators  and/or government (public waste management agency) data.

Notes

One cannot assume that all recyclable waste is effectively being recycled. This could lead to bias on the measurement.
