7b. Waste - Waste arisings by management methods (RES)
Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste Surveys were carried out in 1999, 2003 and 2005-06. Figures from the 2005-06 survey have been grossed up to estimate arisings in 2008. Industrial and Commercial (I&C) Waste Surveys were carried out in 1998-99, 2002-03 and 2007. Between 2002-03 and 2007, 1.8 million tonnes of waste were reclassified as ‘non-wastes’.Local authority municipal waste data may include some commercial waste so any totals derived from these figures may include an element of double counting. ‘Recycled’ includes composting and re-use. Data for 2007-08 is not comparable to earlier years due to the use of different survey methodologies. There was greater coverage in the 2005-06 C&D Survey, resulting in a large increase in recycling and arisings. Transfer Station estimates for 2007-08 are included and are based on outputs from EA permitted transfer stations in 2008.

The Sustainable Development Indicators for Wales provide measures of everyday concerns including health, housing, jobs, crime, education and our environment. The indicators are first and foremost intended to communicate and highlight progress in key issues and priority areas for sustainable development, and along with other evidence help to identify where action is required. The statistics come from a range of sources and are brought together in an annual 'In Your Pocket' booklet which includes charts and statistical commentary on the indicators.
Unless otherwise stated, the data in these tables are classed as National Statistics.
