Generation, recovery and disposal of waste by hazard class

thousand tonnes

· dynamics annual · rows: 10 · periods: 2 · section: Environmental protection (в России. 2024)

Volumes of waste generation, recycling, and disposal for 2022 and 2023 are categorized by environmental hazard class. Rows are grouped into five hazard classes, enabling a comparison between the amount of waste generated and its recycling or disposal rates. All data are provided in thousands of tons, cover the entire country, and allow for an assessment of the environmental impact of industrial activities and population consumption during the specified period

How to read this table

The five waste hazard classes are presented in separate rows, with specific values in thousands of tons provided for each toxicity level. The data is easy to compare by year, as columns for 2022 and 2023 are provided for each class. This allows for tracking changes in waste generation volumes and recycling trends, which is critical for analyzing the effectiveness of environmental protection measures and national-level waste management

What is visible in these numbers

“Class V hazard — Generation of production and consumption waste” leads the table with 9.2 million thousand tonnes, “Class I hazard — Disposal and neutralization of production and consumption waste” closes it with 3.4 thousand tonnes. The gap between them is 2.71 million-fold.
