Generation of waste excluding major mineral wastes by hazardousness

The indicator measures all waste generated in a country. Due to the strong fluctuations in waste generation in the mining and construction sectors and their limited data quality and comparability, major mineral wastes, dredging spoils and soils are excluded. This exclusion enhances comparability across countries as mineral waste accounts for high quantities in some countries with important economic activities such as mining and construction.该指标用于衡量一国产生的全部废弃物。鉴于采矿与建筑行业的废弃物生成量波动剧烈，且该领域的数据质量与可比性均存在局限，因此本指标未纳入主要矿物废弃物、疏浚弃料及土壤类废弃物。考虑到矿物废弃物在采矿、建筑等重要经济活动主导的部分国家中占比极高，排除此类废弃物可有效提升各国统计结果的可比性。
