Controlled solid waste

 

Controlled solid waste refers to the percentage of household and commercial waste generated in a country that is collected and treated in a manner that controls environmental risks. This metric counts waste as “controlled” if it is treated through recycling, composting, anaerobic digestion, incineration, or disposed of in a sanitary landfill. A score of 100 indicates a country controls 100% of its waste in a sustainable way, while a score of 0 indicates a country fails either to control any of its  solid waste or to collect and report data on the fate of its solid wasteData for this indicator come from the World Bank's What a Waste 2.0 report and Wiedinmyer et al. (2014).
