5. Municipal policy
Collection of the household organic fraction
More than 40% of the household waste generated is organic waste. For this reason, collecting the organic fraction selectively is key to increasing the values of selective collection of municipal waste, preventing the contamination of other fractions with organic waste and valorizing the organic matter in the form of compost to take advantage of the nutrients that they can provide to the soil.
6. Circular economy
Circularity of materials
This indicator shows the percentage of recirculation of materials put into circulation in the market, that is, that they are recycled and returned to the economy, thereby reducing the generation of waste and limiting the extraction of raw materials.
It is therefore an indicator that shows the state of the circular economy in a territory.
