Metadata

Methodology:: The 2010 recycling rate has been deducted from the required 50% recycling rate by 2020. This figure has been divided with 10 years and compared with the average annnual percentage increase from 2001 to 2010 and from 2006 to 2010

Additional information

Notes: For Iceland is used 2008 data for 2010. For Slovenia 2002 data are used for 2001 and 2009 data are used for 2010. For Croatia only data for 2007 to 2010 are included. According to Eurostat the comparability of the data over time is high. However, some breaks in the time series are documented, which can influence the comparability between countries and within a country. Generally, the quality of the data seems to better in the end of the period between 2001 and 2010 than in the beginning. The trends for 2001-2005 are therefore less reliable than the 2006-2010 trends, and in some cases, trends might rather reflect changes in data collection than change in waste management.
