Envi0008: Industrial and Commercial Waste

Statistical Directorate, Welsh Assembly Government

The survey of industrial and commercial (I&C) waste arisings in Wales for 2007 calendar year was carried out by Urban Mines, managed by Environment Agency Wales on behalf of the Welsh Assembly Government that funded the project.

The survey was completed to provide an updated picture in relation to I&C waste arisings in Wales and how they are managed, compared to previous surveys undertaken in 1998-99 and 2002-03. The information is needed for a variety of purposes including to inform the current and future revised Wales Waste Strategy and help monitor targets, for European Waste Statistics reporting and to generally inform strategies to make sure waste is managed sustainably.

Data was collected from 1,547 business sites between August 2008 and January 2009 throughout Wales, of differing sector and size, and the data was grossed-up using population data to regional & national level in Wales. Office for National Statistics data showed that there were around 71,400 business sites in Wales in 2007 with 8% in industrial sectors and 92% in commerce; 60% of these companies had less than 4 employees and 2% had more than 100 employees.

The precision for the total Wales arisings (including non-wastes) was +/-4.7% at 90% confidence and at regional level the arisings were of a similar precision.

Blast furnace slag and virgin timber are now classified as 'non-wastes' as defined under the Waste Framework Directive and are not included in these tables.
