Dataset of socio-economic and waste collection indicators for Portugal at municipal level

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This data article presents demographic, socio-economic and waste-related data at municipal level for Portugal. The dataset includes raw data collected from 4 main sources: (i) the annual reports of waste management companies; (ii) the database of the Portuguese water, sanitation and waste regulatory entity; (iii) the Portuguese Environmental Agency; and (iv) national statistical data. Relevant indicators for waste generation and for the separate collection of waste are proposed and calculated using the raw data. The dataset comprises municipalities with high, medium and low separate collection yields, providing socio-economic and waste infrastructures data that can be used for benchmarking. The dataset can also be used to define a baseline against which the progress of the collection of packaging waste can be assessed over time, or else serve as input to mathematical models predicting waste generation and collection. Moreover, data can serve as the base to calculate new waste-related indicators. In addition to being a valuable input to the waste topic, the dataset can also be used in a large range of other topics where demographic and socio-economic parameters are relevant. The data presented herein are associated with the research articles “Model for the separate collection of packaging waste in Portuguese low-performing recycling regions” [1] and “Artificial neural network modelling of the amount of separately-collected household packaging waste” [2].

“…De glas-recyclingbedrijven hebben gescheiden ingezameld verpakkingsglas en soms ook vlakglas en autoglas als grondstof en maken daarvan meerdere glas-scherven-producten voor de glasovens van verpakkingsglas, een aantal bijproducten voor polijstmiddel-en isolatiemiddelproducenten, bijproducten voor de bouw, metaalproducten en een aantal afvalstromen. [Martinho et al, 2017;Oliveira et al, 2017] en over het nascheiden van verpakkingsglas uit gemengd huishoudelijk restafval [Dias et al, 2012;Dias et al, 2015].…”

“…(a) Unsorted waste; (b) Dry recyclables.collection service of unsorted waste is outsourced to a private company and the collection of packaging waste is under the responsibility of a multi-municipal waste management company. Separate collection in the Aveiro administrative region was 7.6% of total waste before the start of PAYT, corresponding to 30.7 kg per inhabitant per year[5]…”

Over the last 20 years solid waste has become an important issue in municipalities and counties and a problem for societies aspiring to economic, social and environmental sustainability. The new, recently approved Waste Framework Directive and Landfilling Directive have even higher targets related to municipal waste recycling and landfilling, and critical changes need to take place if European targets are to be realistically achieved. Pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) waste tariffs are an instrument that can help achieving recycling targets. PAYT works by linking the payment of a waste-collection tariff with the amount of waste discarded so that the payment increases when more waste is produced: "the more one discards, the more one pays". This work shows the early stages of PAYT implementation in pilot scale in a municipality in Portugal. The changes carried out in the collection infrastructures are described, as well as other complementary measures that were simultaneously implemented, namely reinforcement of the collection of dry recyclables and promotion of home composting.
