NAMEA (National accounting matrix including environmental accounts)
- Physical supply and use tables- Consistent to SEEA and SNA
Need for improved waste accounts:
- No recycling- No import and export- Limited NACE categories- Limited waste categories
Waste what is it
- Solid waste:Materials for which the generator has no further use for own purpose of production, transformation or consumption, and which he discards, or intends or is required to discard. (OECD/Eurostat joint questionnaire)
- Solid waste residuals: Solid waste that has a value of zero (or a negative value) to the generator.
- Solid waste products: Solid waste that has a positive value to the generator.
Waste what is it
- Waste statistics regulation (WStatR):
The objective of this European Regulation is to establish a framework for the production of Community statistics on the generation, recovery and disposal of waste (EC, 2002)
- Regular, comparable and up to date data.- Many waste categories are distinguished.- In 2006 first data on 2004 will be reported.
Environmental Accounting
Concepts :-Supply and use tables
emissions + export – absorption + import = dumped waste
- Boundary between economy and environment
- Resident principle
- Waste products versus residuals
Products or residuals?
Waste accounts
Data sources:- waste database- foreign trade statistics- import-export dangerous waste- energy statistics- statistics on recyclers- National accounts data-
Waste accounts
Data issue highlights:- Registrations versus accounts:
- resident principle,- including export but not import- final treatment versus first treatment.
- Allocating waste Eural codes
- Illegal waste transfers
Waste accounts
Practical implications :- Waste emissions- Waste absorption- Import – export waste- Balancing- Products versus residuals
