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 waste.
