Methodology
The residual waste is calculated as the sum of landfilled and incinerated waste, as obtained in the env_wasmun Eurostat dataset. The target for 2030 corresponds to halving the amount of residual waste, with 2020 amounts (113 million tonnes) being taken as the starting date for the target, which resulted in a targeted amount of 56.5 million tonnes.
