Dutch waste accounts
Developed in 2006
Waste accounts in a NAMEA framework, Delahaye (2006).
Based on the European waste regulation

Many waste categories are distinguished.
Part of the environmental accounts
According to concepts national accounts.

Environmental Accounting
Solid waste supply and use tables
+ domestic waste production
+ waste export
– domestic waste absorption (recycling, incineration, landfill)
– waste import
= waste to environment

Data sources
Waste database (used for questionnaire)
CBS data on municipal waste, industrial waste
Surveys construction and service industry
Registrations dangerous waste
Registrations import-export (red & amber list)
Treatment of waste
International trade statistics (green list)
National accounts (waste products)
Energy statistics (waste use for incineration)

Data issues
Registrations versus accounts:
resident principle
waste treatment:
including export but not import
final treatment versus first treatment.
Link with monetary data National accounts:
Waste residuals: Solid waste that has a value of zero (or a negative value) to the generator.
Waste products: Solid waste that has a positive value to the generator.

Data issues
Other issues:
allocation to WStatR codes
extend the number of SBI’s
Balancing supply and use
changing of Eural codes from import to export
conversion to dry matter
illegal waste

Results
- 58 industrial branches for analytical purposes
27 industrial branches on Statline (supply side)
62 waste categories, 8 on Statline
waste products – waste residuals
hazardous waste – non hazardous waste
3 types of treatment (incineration, recycling, land fill)
(less detail before 2001)
