NAMEA (National accounting matrix including
environmental accounts)
- Physical supply and use tables
- Consistent to SEEA and SNA
ECONOMY
ENVIRONMENT
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
