Methodology
Landfilling rate = (waste landfilled / waste generated) * 100
Recycling rate = (waste recycled / waste generated) * 100
Recycling rate = (waste recycled or reused / waste generated) * 100
Collection rate of WEEE: ( WEEE collected / average quantity of EEE put on the market in the previous three years) * 100
Recycling and reuse rate of total WEEE until 2013: (waste recycled and reused / waste treated) * 100
Recycling and reuse rate of total WEEE since 2014: (waste recycled and reused / waste collected) * 100
Collection of portable batteries and accumulators: (waste collected / the average weight placed on market in current and two preceding years) * 100
