In recent years, we have experienced fundamental advances in the field of waste, but we still need to work harder to achieve generation reduction goals and maintain the value of products and materials. MUNICIPAL WASTE European Directives set objectives for progress on this matter: INDUSTRIAL WASTE — European municipal waste recycling targets are set at 50% for 2020 and 65% by 2030. CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE — It is necessary to increase the quantity and quality of all the fractions that are collected selectively in order to be able to reintroduce the maximum amount of materials into the economy. — The selective collection of biowaste is one of the key fractions for achieving these goals. — By 2030, only 10% of the municipal waste generated will be able to go to landfills. — This final treatment of waste must be reduced to only non-recyclable waste. — Regarding construction and demolition waste, the recycling target is set at 70% for 2020. Political will, citizen collaboration, business sector participation, as well as legal and fiscal instruments are key aspects to improve management and change the model towards a circular economy. This publication collects the main statistics on the evolution of waste management in Catalonia over the last ten years, obtained from information from local bodies, industrial activity centres and construction waste managers. All the information can be consulted on the website of the Waste Agency of Catalonia. 4 2 INTRODUCTION MUNICIPAL WASTE 2.1 Generation of municipal waste MUNICIPAL 2.2 Selective collection of municipal waste 2.3 Selective collection in municipalities WASTE with door-to-door service 2.4 Selective collection of the organic matter fraction 2.5 Selective collection of paper and cardboard 2.6 Selective collection of glass 2.7 Selective collection of lightweight packaging 2.8 The non-segregated fraction 2.8.1 Primary destination of non-segregated fraction 2.8.2 Final destination of the non-segregated fraction 2.9 Carbon footprint from municipal waste treatment in Catalonia 2.10 Economic indicators INDUSTRIAL WASTE CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE 5 INTRODUCTION 2.1 MUNICIPAL WASTE GENERATION OF 2.1 Generation of municipal waste MUNICIPAL WASTE 2.2 Selective collection of municipal waste 2.3 Selective collection in municipalities with door-to-door service In 2019, 4 million tonnes of municipal waste was generated in Catalonia. There has been a general decreasing trend in the production of waste, despite a slight increase in recent years, most likely due to exiting the economic crisis (Table 1, Graph 1). 2.4 Selective
