INDICATOR DESCRIPTION
The indicator “recycling rate of waste excluding mineral wastes” is defined as the volume of waste recycled in the country per year divided by the volume of the waste treated in the same year.

The indicator “landfill rate of waste excluding mineral wastes” is defined as the volume of waste landfilled in a country per year divided by the volume of the waste treated in the same year.

Waste taken into account excludes mineral wastes, dredging spoils and contaminated soils. This exclusion enhances comparability across countries, as mineral waste accounts for high quantities in some countries due to economic activities such as mining and construction. One exception, however, is that the indicator explicitly includes combustion wastes and solidified, stabilised and vitrified wastes, despite them being completely or partly mineral.

Both indicators refer to waste that was recycled or landfilled in the country, which means that the quantities of imported waste are excluded and the quantities of waste exported are included.
