Greenhouse gas emissions related to waste in Russia
Greenhouse gas emissions were 84.11 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2018, reaching 85.84 million tonnes by 2022. These data cover the period from 2018 to 2022 and show the impact of various waste management methods on the atmosphere. Table rows categorize total emissions into: landfilling of solid waste and its biological treatment. This breakdown identifies which specific waste management activities contribute most to the greenhouse effect within the country

How to read this table
Waste management types in the rows allow for comparison of the environmental impact of landfilling and biological treatment. You can track how emissions changed for each category individually over the five-year period. The total sums the impact of all specified processes, enabling an assessment of environmental load dynamics. Comparing these indicators helps clarify the contribution of different waste recycling and disposal technologies to the overall greenhouse gas emissions recorded by official statistics for the specified period
What is visible in these numbers
The largest value belongs to “Total” — 85.8; the smallest is “biological treatment of solid waste” at 0.42. The gap between them is 204-fold.

Period and application
The statistics cover a five-year period from 2018 to 2022 and are updated annually by Rosstat. These indicators are useful for ecologists, climate change researchers, and waste recycling and disposal specialists. The data allow for monitoring the effectiveness of atmospheric impact reduction measures established in relevant environmental programs and provide accurate figures for preparing reports or analytical reviews of the country's environmental state
