Share of non-recyclable waste generated in the port area

Indicator 8: 

Share of non-recyclable waste generated in the port area

 What this indicator measures

This indicator is analogous to IC 6. However, in this case, it concerns waste generated in the port area rather than onboard ships. Once again, the assumption is made that recyclable waste collected by the waste collection system is indeed recycled.

How data are collected and managed

Current limitations

The limitations which applied to IC 6 also apply in this case.

The measurement is restricted to the port area, a legally defined territory which is under the management of the Port Authority (PA) or Port Management Body (PMB). For example, the boundaries of the Flemish ports are determined by a decision of the Flemish Government.

Where to start and the perspectives to improve

This indicator is not highly feasible is because there are no data yet on the collected waste by location and, R and D code. However, from 2023, the necessary data will be more easily available through OVAM’s MATIS system (scale of the Flemish Region).
