Dataset on Disaster Waste post-earthquake 2016 in Manabi province, Ecuador. Recovery to recycling and reuse

A powerful earthquake that hit Ecuador on April 16th, 2016, generated large volumes of debris and waste. This dataset contains data on the recovered and reused disaster material. The dataset includes the following:
Recovered plastic material.
Recovered metal material.
Recovered Cardboard and paper.
Recovered glass.
Other recovered recyclable materials.
Material reused.
This dataset was created to highlight the quantity increase of disaster waste (2016), comparing it with the volume generated in conditions before the earthquake (2015) and almost four years after the earthquake (2019). Furthermore, the database shows the recycling process phases completed by each of the total medium and small-sized scrap businesses (n=62) in Manabi province and the number of months post-earthquake when the scrap dealers purchased disaster materials. Finally, the dataset includes perceptions of scrap businesses about business advantages after the earthquake. Considering the considerable volume of waste and debris generated, this dataset can provide data to analyse disaster waste management as a crucial task for post-disaster recovery.

2016年4月16日袭击厄瓜多尔的强震产生了大量废墟与废弃物。本数据集收录了灾后回收及再利用的救灾物资相关数据，具体包含以下类别：回收塑料物料、回收金属物料、回收纸板与纸质物料、回收玻璃制品、其他可回收废弃物、已再利用物料。本数据集旨在凸显2016年灾后灾害废弃物的增量，并将其与震前（2015年）及震后近四年（2019年）的废弃物产生量进行对比。此外，本数据库还展示了马纳比省（Manabi province）共计62家中小型废品回收企业完成的回收流程阶段，以及震后废品回收商收购救灾物资的月数。最后，本数据集还收录了废品回收企业对震后经营优势的认知评价。鉴于本次地震产生了巨量废墟与废弃物，本数据集可为作为灾后恢复重建核心任务的灾害废弃物管理分析提供数据支撑。
