(1) The amount of generated waste per material may be based on data on separately collected waste and on estimates derived from regularly updated waste composition surveys of municipal waste. Where no such surveys are available, the category of mixed waste may be used.

(2) This includes incineration with energy recovery and the reprocessing of waste to be used as fuels or other means to generate energy. The weight of waste subject to energy recovery per material may be based on estimates derived from regularly updated waste composition surveys of municipal waste. Where no such surveys are available, the category of mixed waste may be used.

(3) This excludes preparing for reuse, recycling and energy recovery, and includes backfilling.

(4) Metals separated after incineration of municipal waste shall be reported separately and shall not be included in the row for metals and in the total amount of waste entering energy recovery operations.

(5) Bio-waste separated and recycled at source shall be reported separately and shall not be included in the row for bio-waste.

(6) This includes large dimension waste items which require specific collection and treatment such as furniture and mattresses.

(7) Waste codes established by Decision 2000/532/EC.
