Recycling rate of packaging waste by type of packaging
Autor
Descriere
The indicator is defined as the share of recycled packaging waste in all generated packaging waste. Packaging waste covers wasted material that was used for the containment, protection, handling, delivery and presentation of goods, from raw materials to processed goods, from the producer to the user or the consumer, excluding production residues. Packaging waste is broken down into 'paper and cardboard packaging', 'plastic packaging', 'wooden packaging', 'metallic packaging' and 'glass packaging'. The ratio is expressed in percent (%) as both terms are measured in the same unit, namely tonnes. The source data set 'Recycling rates of packaging waste for monitoring compliance with policy targets, by type of packaging (env_waspacr)' includes for two types of waste material (plastic and wood) an 'adjusted recycling rate'. That means the recycling rates adjusted for monitoring compliance with policy targets in accordance with Article 6 of Directive 94/62/EC and Article 6b(1) of Decision 2005/270. The relevant rates for those materials are: o Recycling rate of plastic packaging waste counts exclusively material that is recycled back into plastic (material recycling / generation). o Recycling rate of wooden packaging waste is calculated including repair (recycling + repair of wooden packaging waste / generation + repair of wooden packaging waste).
