Food Waste Statistics Austria Summary


SUMMARY

In order to provide a deeper insight into food waste and into relevant activities

generating food waste, Eurostat in cooperation with the EU Member States has

prepared a Food-Waste-Plug-In as template for collecting and reporting data

on

the generation of waste containing food waste by certain economic sec-

tors, food industry subsectors and services subsectors for the reference

year 2014

the shares by which the waste containing food waste was treated in the

year 2014.

The present technical report describes how the Food-Waste-Plug-In was filled

with Austrian data of the year 2014. It also describes how an estimate on the

amount of actual food waste contained in the waste containing food waste for

Austria and the year 2014 was made. It also shows the respective results.

The task of completing the Food-Waste-Plug-In was performed by following

steps:

1. Waste Generation

1.1 Correspondence of Austrian-European waste types

1.2 Year 2014 animal/vegetal waste generation according to Austrian waste types

1.3 Year 2014 household and similar waste generation according to Austrian waste types

1.4 Year 2014 waste generation according to European waste types

1.5 Allocation of waste generation to economic sectors

1.6 Adaptation/completion of the Food-Waste-Plug-In

1.7 Marking of confidentiality

2. Waste Management

2.1 Year 2014 animal/vegetal waste treatment per treatment type according to Austrian waste types

2.2 Consistency between amounts generated and treated.

2.3 Year 2014 animal/vegetal waste treatment per treatment type according to European waste types

2.4 Completion of the Food-Waste-Plug-In

2.5 Marking of confidentiality

3. Quantification of food waste

3.1 Screening

3.2 Collation of existing studies/analyses

3.3 Assessment of existing studies

3.4 Assessment of missing data

3.5 Preparation and implementation of a survey

3.6 Assessment of survey results

3.7 Total food waste generation balance

In total Austria in the year 2014 generated some 4.28 million tonnes of waste

which constitute the Food-Waste-Plug-In. Of these approximately 685,000

tonnes or 16 % are animal and mixed food waste, approx. 1,148,000 tonnes or

Food Waste Statistics Austria Summary


27 % vegetal waste and 2,448,000 tonnes 57 % household and similar waste.

However, the amount of food waste actually contained in these waste types is

much lower. In total it is estimated that in all waste types of the Food-Waste-

Plug-In approximately 850,000 tonnes of food waste were enclosed in Austria in

the year 2014.

From the animal and mixed food waste in the waste balances only 0.5 % orig-

inate in the agricultural sector. With 22 % and 23 % of the animal and mixed

food waste in the year 2014 about the same amount of animal and mixed food

waste were generated by the food industry and the services sector. 53 % of the

animal and mixed food waste originate in the household sector.

With respect to the vegetal waste the by far biggest share of 75 % is produced

by the services sector. Agriculture, food industry and households contribute

0.4 %, 5 % and 18 % to the vegetal waste, respectively. These numbers may

show, that it is easier for agriculture and food industry to use vegetal food loss-

es as feed than animal food losses. These numbers may also show that in the

services sector it is still possible to keep vegetal waste separate from animal

waste, while in the household sector the biggest share of animal and vegetal

waste is collected as mixed waste.

With respect to waste treatment more than 99 % of the animal and mixed food

waste and the vegetal waste are subject to recovery other than energy re-

covery while 97 % of the households and similar wastes of the Food-Waste-

Plug-In are thermally treated with energy recovery.

Food Waste Statistics Austria Introduction


1 INTRODUCTION

The latest Environmental Indicator Report of the European Environment Agency

(EEA 2014) shows that food is the need to be covered with the biggest life cycle

environmental impact. Simultaneously the potential for reducing the environ-

mental impact of the food by food waste prevention is huge. The European

Commission in its first Circular Economy Package (EC 2014 - COM(2014)398)

estimated the food waste prevention potential to be 30 %. Similar estimates

were made, for example for the food waste prevention potential of Austria (I

& TB HAUER 2012, SCHNEIDER & LEBERSORGER 2011). That is why many EU-

Member State waste prevention programmes, including for example the pro-

grammes of England1, Ireland

2, Italy

3 or the Netherlands

4, contain priority

measures on the prevention of food waste. These national efforts are given a

frame and are supported, respectively, by initiatives on the EU level. The

Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe (EC 2011 - COM(2011)571) has for-

mulated the target of halving the disposal of edible food waste by 2020.

In September 2015, as part of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the

United Nations General Assembly adopted a target of halving per capita food

waste at the retail and consumer level, and reducing food losses along produc-

tion and supply chains. According to the second Circular Economy Package (EC

2015 - COM(2015)614) the EU and its Member States are committed to meeting

this target.

There is high demand for statistical data on food waste, both at European level

and at national level in various Member States. In order to identify food waste

prevention potentials along the supply and consumption chain, in order to identi-

fy and design effective food waste prevention measures and in order to be able

to evaluate their effects, high quality food waste data are needed. However, it is

not easy to identify food waste once it is mixed with other waste, and it is even

more difficult to discern between preventable and not-preventable food waste.

Many EU-Member States already have put quite some effort in getting high

quality food waste data. As the methodology to get these data is not yet stand-

ardised, the results of different studies are difficult to compare within one coun-

try let alone between the Member States.

In order to establish some kind of standardisation, within the Seventh Frame-

work Programme (FP7), the four-year research project FUSIONS (Food Use for

Social Innovation by Optimising waste prevention Strategies)5 has been

launched. One main objective and the first work package of this project is to

"obtain reliable data and information sources to enable assessment of food

waste quantities and trends in food waste prevention and reduction within EU

27."

In addition DG Environment (ENV) and DG Health and Food Safety (SANTE)

have expressed the demand for statistics on food waste to Eurostat in order to

be able to monitor their policy objectives. Eurostat has decided, that the food

waste statistics should best be established within the framework of the biennial

data collection on waste statistics as based on Waste Statistics Regulation

(WStatR). In this frame data collections have been performed for reference

years 2004 to 2012, covering statistics both on the generation and treatment of

waste. The next data delivery to Eurostat on reference year 2014 is due by 30

June 2016.

The first step of introducing EU wide food waste statistics by Eurostat, was the

preparation of a food-waste-plug in, which is a template for showing per EU

Member State how much of waste which can contain food waste was generated

by sector in the year 2012:

Table 1: Template for the Food-Waste-Plug-In Waste Generation

In addition Eurostat prepared a template for showing the amounts of the rele-

vant waste types treated by treatment types:

Table 2: Template for the Food-Waste-Plug-In Waste Treatment

The EU Member States were asked to fill these templates with year 2012 data.

However, this was only a first steps, as the different EU Member States which

undertook this exercise had quite different starting points and, to some extend

had to apply different methodologies and encountered different barriers. Austria

for example can draw on an advanced electronic reporting system, however,

has to convert national waste types to the waste types of the European Waste

List. It also encountered special difficulties in allocations to the service sectors.

In addition it was realised for all Member States, that still more efforts are re-

quired to forward from the waste statistics of the Food-Waste-Plug-In, which is a

statistics of waste which contains food waste to a food-waste-only statistics. It

was also realised that additional effort is required to get high quality data on

how the food waste is treated.

Building on the experience gained with filling the Food-Waste-Plug-In so far,

both the Food-Waste-Plug-In and the methods for collecting, analysing, evaluat-

ing and completing the data of the Food-Waste-Plug-In now shall be further re-

fined.

This shall include three tasks:

1. The completion of the Food-Waste-Plug-In with respect to waste gen-

eration for Austria for the year 2014, in as high quality as possible and

as accurately as possible with respect to allocation to the sectors of

origin

2. The completion of the Food-Waste-Plug-In with respect to waste treat-

ment shares

3. The collection of information and data which allows estimating the

shares of the food waste in the waste flows of the Food-Waste-Plug-In.

The general objective of the work is to

Get more accurate and more standardized data of food waste generation and

food waste treatment as basis for the preparation of food waste prevention poli-

cies, strategies, programmes, measures as well as for their monitoring and

evaluation.

The more specific objectives are to complete the Food-Waste-Plug-In as accu-

rately as possible and to substantially progress towards a high quality food

waste statistics.

The following chapters

explain, how the data for the waste generation of the Food-Waste-Plug-

In for Austria and the year 2014 were prepared;

provide information on the supporting investigations made;

describe how the treatment shares of the Food-Waste-Plug-In were de-

termined and

show an estimation of the actual amount of food waste contained in the

waste streams of the Food-Waste-Plug-In.

Finally the Annex provides the resulting data tables of the Food-Waste-Plug-In

and the data quality /methodology report with a critical assessment of the meth-

ods applied and of the results achieved.

Food Waste Statistics Austria Filling the Food-Waste-Plug-In with Austrian 2014 Data


2 FILLING THE FOOD-WASTE-PLUG-IN WITH AUSTRIAN 2014 DATA

The Food-Waste-Plug-In was filled with Austrian year 2014 waste generation

data by pursuing following steps:

1. Defining a key which connects the Austrian waste types to the waste

types of the Food-Waste-Plug-In

2. Determination of Austrian year 2014 animal and vegetal waste genera-

tion by Food-Waste-Plug-In waste type

3. Sector allocation of animal and vegetal waste

4. Determination of Austrian year 2014 household and similar waste gen-

eration by Food-Waste-Plug-In waste type

5. Sector allocation of household and similar waste

6. After completion of the food waste plug the confidentiality level of the

different data is determined.

2.1 Key from Austrian waste codes to Food-Waste-Plug-In waste types

Data from the Austrian annual waste balances cannot be directly used to com-

plete the Food-Waste-Plug-In. One problem is to be solved:

Austria uses an own waste classification system which is defined by

the Austrian Waste Catalogue Ordinance (Die Abfallverzeichnisver-

ordnung BGBl. II Nr. 570/2003 i.d.g.F.) and

the norm on the Austrian Waste List NORM S 2100.

In contrast the Food-Waste-Plug-In is based on

the classification system of the European Waste List (Decision No.

2000/532/EC) and

the European Waste Classification for Statistics, version 4 (EWC-

Stat 4) as defined by the Waste Statistics Regulation (EC) No

2150/2002.

In order to convert the Austrian waste generation by Austrian waste type to the

waste types of the Food-Waste-Plug-In a key was prepared based on an update

of a key already prepared in 2003 by the Austrian Standardisation Institute (ON

2003).

The resulting key is shown in Table 22 in chapter 9.2 of the Annex.

2.2 Animal and vegetal waste generated in Austria 2014

In the next step from the total Austrian waste generation balance those Austrian

waste types were selected which correspond to the animal and vegetal waste



types of the Food-Waste-Plug-In. Table 1 shows the waste generated in Austria

in the year 2014 for these waste types.

2.3 Sector Allocation for animal and vegetal wastes

In the next step the generation of the different animal and vegetal waste types is

allocated to the sectors and subsectors specified by the Food-Waste-Plug-In

(see Table 20 in the annex). For the ease of modelling some additional columns

e.g. for the subsector Public administration were added for the allocation exer-

cise (see Table 23 in the annex).

It can be seen from Table 1 (above) that from the 105 Austrian waste types 16

actually are not used. The remaining 89 Austrian waste types, however, still can

be allocated more precisely to the sectors than this would be possible with the

corresponding 26 European waste types. Therefore the sectoral allocation was

performed on the basis of the Austrian waste types.

Following approaches were used:



1. If the waste generator is indicated in the waste balance by means of an

identification number (Global Location Number, GLN) it is possible to

read the 4-digit NACE-code of the generator from the Master Database

of the EDM.

2. In cases where the waste is collected directly by waste collectors (and

not by municipalities) the name of the enterprise of origin frequently is

reported to EDM. In many cases the name of the enterprise also re-

veals the services-subsector to which the enterprise belongs. A hotel, a

restaurant or a school and the waste they produce easily can be allo-

cated to the corresponding subsector. While this approach does not

give the total picture (as much of the waste is collected by municipali-

ties) it allows in some cases determining the relative share between the

services subsectors.

3. Some of the Austrian waste types are defined by their subsector of

origin. So the generation of this waste type can be fully allocated to the

defined sector of origin.

4. In the reports of the waste collectors and waste treatment companies

also the sector of origin of the waste received should be specified. Typ-

ically this is actually done in approximately 70 % of the reports. This is

to allocate the generated waste to the main sectors.

5. A further allocation of some waste streams to the subsectors of the food

industry was made possible by results of a survey in the food industry

(see chapter 3.1).

6. Some information for the allocation to subsectors of the food industry

and the services subsectors was gained by investigating EMAS related

environmental statements of selected companies and some other re-

ports on Austrian food waste generation (see chapter 3.2).

7. In some cases, if the data of the reference year 2014 did not allow an

exact allocation, the results of the Food-Waste-Plug-In 2012 were used

as estimation.

8. If no other information is available the waste can be allocated to the

food industry subsectors and among some services subsectors based

on structural business statistics (see chapter 3.3).

9. For some waste types and some subsectors specific waste generation

can be estimated based on historical experience and waste analyses.

This bottom up approach was utilised mainly for allocating typical mu-

nicipal waste types (see chapter 2.5).

All these approaches allowed determining the shares each sector/subsector

contributes to a certain waste types. The resulting shares are shown in Table 23

in chapter 9.3 of the annex.



2.4 Household and similar waste generated in Austria 2014

In the next step from the total Austrian waste generation balance those Austrian

waste types were selected which correspond to the household and similar

waste types of the Food-Waste-Plug-In. Table 2 shows the waste generated in

Austria in the year 2014 for these waste types.

2.5.1 91101 Siedlungsabflle und hnliche Gewerbeabflle

(mixed municipal waste)

UMWELTBUNDESAMT (2009) found, that 14 to 24 % of the 1.4 million tonnes of

mixed municipal waste collected by the municipal waste collection system in

2014 is from the trade and food/beverage service subsectors. Taking the mean

value (approximately 19 %) gives a mixed municipal waste generation of

271,263 tonnes/year of the three subsectors wholesale trade, retail trade and

food/beverage service combined or of 90,421 tonnes for each of these 3 sub-

sectors.



The annual generation of mixed municipal waste in the tourism and accommo-

dation subsector can be calculated as follows: UMWELTBUNDESAMT (2009) esti-

mates the generation of mixed municipal waste to be 1.8 kg per overnight stay.

According to STATISTICS AUSTRIA (2016) 131.9 million overnight stays were rec-

orded for Austria in the year 2014. This gives a total annual generation of

237.420 tonnes of mixed municipal waste in the tourism and accommodation

subsector.

For the mixed municipal waste generation in education it was assumed that

every person in kindergarten, school and university generates 0.25 kg of mixed

municipal waste per day present.

Also the estimation on the mixed municipal waste generation in the health sec-

tor is based on assumptions of average generation values. For persons staying

in hospitals or nursing homes a mixed municipal waste generation of 0.5 kg/day

is assumed, while for attending persons the generation is 0.25 kg/day.



Residents of hospitals and nursing homes stay there 45 million days annually

(BMG 2015, STATISTICS AUSTRIA 2016f) producing 22,692 tonnes of mixed mu-

nicipal waste.

The personnel of hospitals and nursing homes produce 7,464 tonnes of mixed

municipal waste. Thus residents and personnel together generate 30,156

tonnes annually (see Table 6).

Also with public administration a daily per capita mixed municipal waste genera-

tion of 0.25 kg is assumed. With 366,265 persons working in public administra-

tion (BUNDESKANZLERAMT 2016) and 205 working days per year the total annual

mixed municipal waste generation in the public administration subsector is

18,566 tonnes.

2,015,179 tonnes

271,263 tonnes (from wholesale trade, retail trade and food/beverage service)

237,420 tonnes (from accommodation)

93,956 tonnes (from education)

30,156 tonnes (from health)

18,566 tonnes (from public administration)

350,059 tonnes (from industry and municipalities)

= 1,013,759 tonnes is allocated to the household sector.

2.5.2 91401 Sperrmll (bulky waste)

According to reports from the Austrian regions the generation of bulky waste in

Austrian households in the year 2014 was 259,500 tonnes.

The total bulky waste generation according to EDM reports was 345,047

tonnes. The 85,547 tonnes difference between total bulky waste generation and



household bulky waste generation were distributed between the industrial sec-

tors and services sector based on the EDM reports. The bulky waste generation

of agriculture and food industries is a subset of the total industry generation and

is thus taken directly from EDM reports. Inside the services sector, the shares of

the subsecotrs are based on the shares as calculated for the mixed municipal

waste generation. This is based on the assumption that mixed municipal waste

generation and bulky waste generation are the result from the same levels of

activities and therefore interlinked.

2.5.3 91501 Straenkehricht (litter)

According to EDM litter generation in 2014 in Austria was 87,425 tonnes. This

was allocated directly to the subsector municipalities public services. This

means the corresponding value is seen in the Food-Waste-Plug-In only in the

Total NACE + households column.

2.5.4 91601 Viktualienmark-Abflle (waste from markets)

According to EDM the generation of waste from markets in 2014 in Austria was

467 tonnes. This was fully allocated to the subsector municipalities public

services. This means the corresponding value is seen in the Food-Waste-Plug-

In only in the Total NACE + households column.

2.5.5 91701 Garten- und Parkabflle (garden and park waste)

According to EDM the generation of garden and park waste in 2014 in Austria

was 201,041 tonnes. 188,800 tonnes were allocated to the subsector munici-

palities public services and 12,241 tonnes were allocated to all other sec-

tors. This means the corresponding value is seen in the Food-Waste-Plug-In

only in the Total NACE + households column.

2.5.6 91702, 92116 Friedhofsabflle (waste from cemeteries)

and 92102 Mhgut und Laub (grass and foliage cut)

62.549 tonnes of waste from cemeteries complying with compost ordinance re-

quirements, 1,746 tonnes of waste from cemeteries not complying with compost

ordinance requirements and 218,700 tonnes of grass and foliage cut from street

were all allocated to subsector municipalities public services. 127.810

tonnes of grass and foliage cut from street were allocated to all other sectors.

2.6 Resulting Food-Waste-Plug-In values for 2014

The sector shares shown in Table 23 in chapter 9.3 of the annex can be used

as a key to allocate the generated waste to the sectors/subsectors of origin.



Table 24 in chapter 9.4 shows the resulting Food-Waste-Plug-In for Austria

2014.

2.7 Allocation of confidentiality

Also shown in Table 24 in chapter 9.4 is which of the data are to be treated as

confidential data. All data marked by orange background colour are confidential.

In general all data which allow to estimate the waste generation of a single

company are to be regarded as confidential. If for example there are only few

companies within a subsector or if one company is the dominant waste genera-

tor, the corresponding waste generation data are to be regarded as being confi-

dential.

Following criteria/steps were applied for determining which data are confiden-

tial:

1. On the level of Austrian waste types:

a) All data from waste types with a year 2012 waste generation small-

er than 1,000 tonnes are regarded as confidential

b) All data which are based on fife or less reports to EDM are regard-

ed as confidential

c) All waste generation data for which on single report to EDM covers

more than 50 % of the total waste generation of the waste type in

the sector (subsector) are regarded as confidential

2. On the level of the Austrian waste types merged to the waste types of

the Food-Waste-Plug-In

d) All waste generation data for which more than 50 % of the total

waste generation of the waste type in the sector/subsector have

been identified as being confidential on the Austrian waste type

level are also qualified as being confidential on the Food-Waste-

Plug-In waste type level.

Food Waste Statistics Austria Supporting investigations


3 SUPPORTING INVESTIGATIONS

Several of the waste flows identified in Table 1 cannot be directly allocated to

their different sectors of origin. Several approaches were applied to support this

allocation. These approaches comprise:

a survey of the waste generation in the food industry

an analysis of the waste balances described in relevant EMAS reports

and different reports on Austrian food waste generation

the estimation of weighing factors based on structural business statis-

tics and

a bottom-up approach for the allocation of municipal waste and the al-

location of different food containing waste types to services-subsectors.

3.1 Survey on waste from food industry

A simple questionnaire was prepared, asking enterprises from the food industry

for their annual generation of waste containing food waste by Austrian waste

type and the type of waste treatment.

The questionnaire was sent to 84 enterprises. 23 enterprises submitted their

waste flows (return rate of 27 %). In addition 6 enterprises reported, that they

had no relevant waste generation or only generation of by-products which are

sold as feed.

The 23 enterprises which submitted their filled questionnaires represent

8 % of the food processing industry

82 % of the beer industry and

24 % of the Austrian feed industry.

Table 7 shows the food waste generated annually be the 23 companies which

submitted the completed questionnaire by Austrian food waste type. In total

these 23 companies produced not only 1.3 million tonnes of products but also

approximately 159,000 tonnes of food waste. The majority of this waste is malt

residue (Malztreber, Malzkeime, Malzstaub) from beer production.

Approximately 82 % of this food waste was recycled as feed (see Figure 1).

Based on the information given in the environmental statements of these EMAS

certified companies it was analysed which types of waste the institutions pro-

duced in which quantities. These and 3 reports on the generation of Austrian

food waste and related wastes such as biowaste and animal by-products

(UMWELTBUNDESAMT 2001, 2008, 2012) gave some background information for a

better allocation of the total waste generated for some waste types to the food

industry and the services subsectors (see chapter 2.3 above).

This Structural Business Statistics can be used to estimate the share of a cer-

tain waste stream to be allocated to the different sectors. It can be assumed

that the higher the number of enterprises, persons employed and turnover

achieved is within a sector the higher is its share to the generation of a certain

waste flow.

For calculating the share a weighing factor wf is used. The weighing factor of

the sector x wfsx is defined as:

(

)

with

ne = number of enterprises in a sector

ne = number of enterprises in all sectors

pe = number of persons employed in a sector

pe = number of persons employed in all sectors

to = turnover in a sector

to = turnover in all sectors

Applying this formula to the numbers from Table 9 gives the weighing factors

shown in Table 10. These weighing factors can be used to spread a certain

waste flow over different sectors/subsectors.

If for example a waste flow of the mass m has to be spread over two sectors

s1 and s2, the mass ms1 allocated to sector s1 is:

Or more generally:



(

)

If for example it is necessary to spread 130 tonnes of a certain waste flow over

the subsector C102 Processing and preserving of fish, crustaceans

and molluscs with a weighing factor of 0.01 and

the subsector C104 Manufacture of vegetable and animal oils and fats

with a weighing factor of 0.12

then

0.01/0.13*130 = 10 tonnes of this waste stream are allocated to the

subsector C102 and

0.12/0.13*130 = 120 tonnes of this waste stream are allocated to the

subsector C104.

tors/sub-sectors.

Food Waste Statistics Austria Management of waste containing food waste in Austria


4 MANAGEMENT OF WASTE CONTAINING FOOD WASTE IN AUSTRIA

This chapter describes how the shares of the different waste management

techniques by which the waste containing food waste in the year 2014 in Austria

were determined. In accordance with the template of the Food-Waste-Plug-In

following waste management techniques were taken into account:

Energy Recovery (R1)

Incineration (D10)

Recovery other than Energy Recovery Backfilling (RecV-O)

Deposit onto or into Land

There was no allocation to the categories

Recovery other than Energy Recovery Backfilling (RecV-D) and

Land treatment and release into water bodies

as these techniques are not applied for the treatment of waste containing food

waste in Austria.

4.1 Treatment per Austrian waste type

In the first step of this task the amounts of waste treated were determined per

Austrian waste types and per treatment types. The analysis covers those Aus-

trian waste types, which correspond to the waste types of the Food-Waste-Plug-

In. The analysis is mainly based on data, which are reported to the Austrian da-

ta base EDM by waste treatment companies. The results of the analysis were

evaluated and checked for their plausibility. In very few cases the results of the

analysis of the EDM-data were complemented by means of expert judgements /

results of specific studies (e.g. study on municipal yard and garden waste). In

the evaluation and plausibility check of the data on the treatment of household

and similar wastes the expertise of the regional governments was utilized and

expert knowledge on the long term trends was taken into account.

4.2 Completion of the Food Waste Management Plug-In

For the treatment template of the Food-Waste-Plug-In, see Table 21 in the an-

nex.

The waste treatment determined by Austrian waste types was converted to

waste treatment by the waste types of the Food-Waste-Plug-In. The conversion

was based on the key shown in Table 22 in chapter 9.2 of the Annex.

Table 25 in chapter 9.4 shows the resulting Food-Waste-Plug-In for Austria

2014.



4.3 Consistency check

The main emphasis of the task to determine the treated quantities for the Food-

Waste-Plug-In laid on the consistency check between the generated quantities

and the treated quantities. The data on the generation of the Austrian waste

types corresponding to the waste types of the Food-Waste-Plug-In was com-

pared with the data on the treatment of these waste types.

The data on the imports and exports of waste, as reported to the Austrian data

base EDM, were taken into account. The Food-Waste-Plug-In covers only the

final treatment operations, but in the consistency check also data on the quanti-

ties treated in pre-treatment operations were taken into account.

In several cases, remaining gaps in the coverage were revealed and the data

on treatment (or in some cases also the data on generation) was revised based

on further detailed analysis of the annual waste balance reports.

In several cases, relevant differences remain between generated and treated

quantities. These differences can be explained mainly by export/imports and

pretreatment. An additional reason for the differences is that sometimes the

primary collectors and the final treaters of waste in their reports use different

waste codes for the same waste stream.

The following table shows the comparison of the total quantities generated and

treated on the final level of the waste types of the Food-Waste-Plug-In. It also

indicates the main reasons for the remaining differences between the total

quantities generated and treated.



Table 11: Comparison of the total quantities generated and treated on the final level of

the waste types of the Food-Waste-Plug-In.

* Reclassification = The final treater reports a different waste type than the initial collector.

4.4 Allocation of confidentiality

Confidentiality rules require, that only data may be published which do not allow

drawing conclusions on single companies. All other data need to be marked in

the Food-Waste-Plug-In as being confidential.

In Austria, there is only one facility for incineration without energy recovery

(D10). For this reason, the data on the incineration without energy recovery

needs to be flagged confidential. In order to protect this confidentiality, also the

data on incineration with energy recovery needs to be flagged confidential.

Food Waste Statistics Austria Quantification of Food waste in Austria


5 QUANTIFICATION OF FOOD WASTE IN AUSTRIA

The Food-Waste-Plug-In is made up of animal and vegetal waste types and

other waste types which may contain food waste. However these waste types

contain different shares of food waste. It is the aim of this chapter to provide an

estimate of the amount of food waste actually being contained in the waste

types of the Austrian Food-Waste-Plug-In. This task starts with a definition of

the scope of the food waste statistics prepared in this study. Then a screening

follows, which shall identify the waste types containing the biggest amounts of

food waste. In the sub-sequent steps a more accurate estimation of the food

waste share in the selected waste types is given.

5.1 Defining the scope of the food waste statistics

The core problems with defining the scope of food waste statistics are de-

scribed by following questions:

1. Shall non-edible waste from food production such as hooves, horns or

leather be considered as food waste?

2. To which degree food left on the plants and food waste treated on the

farms of origin shall be taken into account in the food waste statistics?

3. Shall food waste drained into the sewage system be considered in the

food waste statistics?

4. Shall food waste which is composted in the home composting system

be considered in the food waste statistics?

5. Is waste from tap-water, mineral water, flavoured mineral water, juice,

wine, or waste from liquor food waste?

The FUSIONS project proposes following definition of food waste: Food waste

is any food, and inedible parts of food, removed from the food supply chain to

be recovered or disposed (including - composted, crops ploughed in/not har-

vested, anaerobic digestion, bio-energy production, cogeneration, incineration,

disposal to sewer, landfill or discarded to sea) (FUSIONS 2015). However, this is

a rather wide definition of food waste which cannot be met by existing statistics.

It also does not clearly specify to which degree leaves, straw or waste water

shall be considered in the food waste statistics. If all the leaves, straw, water

and other inedible parts connected to food are to be considered in the food

waste statistics the inedible parts may dwarf the edible parts and make the sta-

tistics useless.

For defining the scope of the food waste statistics in the present study two ap-

proaches are applied:

1. The main purpose for the food waste statistics is to serve as basis for

guiding food waste prevention.

2. The main source of food waste statistics is the waste reported by Aus-

trian waste producers and waste management companies to the EDM

reporting system as part of obligations defined by the Austria Waste

Management Act.



In accordance with approach number 1 the focus of the food waste statistics will

be on preventable, edible food waste. Therefore clearly non-edible materials

(such as hooves, horns, straw) separated from animals and plants during food

production are not taken into account as food waste in the food waste statistics

of the Food-Waste-Plug-In prepared in this chapter.

In accordance with approach number 2

Agricultural waste left on the fields or treated on the farm of origin food waste drained into the sewage system home composted food waste

are not part of the food waste statistics of the Food-Waste-Plug-In prepared in

this chapter.

Aqueous food waste is part of the food waste statistics of the Food-Waste-Plug-

In only to the degree it is reported to EDM.

However, in the following sub-chapters estimates on the amount of the food

waste drained into the sewage system and home composted are given.

5.2 Screening of waste types which contain food waste -

Based on the information collated so far and based on a specific analysis of the

Austrian waste reports, regarding the origin of the different waste types, the

food waste share in the waste types of the Food-Waste-Plug-In is estimated

(see column Food waste share 1. estimate in following Table 12). The esti-

mated food waste share is multiplied with the amount of waste generated in

2014 by waste type to give the 1. estimate of the food waste generated in this

year (see last column of Table 12) by waste type. It can be seen that the food

waste is concentrated in relatively few waste types. 98 % of the estimated food

waste is concentrated in 23 waste types of the 105 Food-Waste-Plug-In-waste-

types (see Table 13).

11 of the 23 selected waste types are per definition almost pure food waste. For

a further 4 of the 25 selected waste types the food-waste share can be deter-

mined based on the information collected so far. The remaining 8 waste types

which contain a high share of the Austrian food waste are selected for a further

more detailed investigation of their food waste content (see Table 14). The li-

ons share of the food waste should be contained in the waste type Siedlung-

sabflle und hnliche Gewerbeabflle which corresponds to Mixed municipal

waste. Therefore the further estimation of the food waste contents starts with

this waste type.
