What is the Separate Collection Rate?
This article explains what this rate is and how it is calculated.
As an admin, you can view and download a waste report in the Reports menu. This report also allows you to see the separate collection rate.
What is the Separate Collection Rate?
The separate collection rate indicates the percentage of commercial municipal waste generated on-site that is collected separately by weight.
How is the Separate Collection Rate Calculated?
The separate collection rate is calculated using AVVs (European Waste Catalogue codes). The following formula is used:
AVVs Included in the Separate Collection Mass
For calculating the mass of separately collected commercial municipal waste, all orders with waste assigned to one of the following AVVs are included:
150101, 150105, 200101, 150107, 160120, 170202, 200102, 150102, 160119, 170203, 200139, 070213, 201004, 150104, 150110, 200140, 160117, 160118, 170401, 170402, 170403, 170404, 170405, 170406, 170407, 170411, 020110, 150103, 170201, 200138, 030105, 030104, 030101, 150109, 200110, 200111, 040222, 040221, 040209, 200108, 200125, 200201, 200302, 020103, 020704, 020601, 020501, 020304, 020203, 170101, 170102, 170103, 200113, 200114, 200115, 200116, 200117, 200126, 200127, 200128, 200129, 200130, 200131, 200132, 200141, 200303, 200304, 200306
AVVs Included in the Total Mass
For the total mass calculation, the following additional AVVs are included:
150106, 170107, 170904, 200301, 200307
💡 Note: Orders missing tonnage information or not yet in the "Reviewed" status are excluded from the calculation.
Example Calculation
Order Number | AVV | Name | Weight |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 150101 | Paper and cardboard packaging | 1t |
2 | 170203 | Plastic | 0.6t |
3 | 150106 | Mixed packaging | 0.3t |
4 | 200301 | Mixed municipal waste | 0.7t |
5 | 010305* | Other residues containing hazardous substances | 1t |
6 | 150101 | Paper and cardboard packaging | 1.4t |
Mass of Separately Collected Commercial Municipal Waste
1+ 0.6 + 1.4 = 3t
Total Mass of All Commercial Municipal Waste
1 + 0.6 + 1.4 + 0.3 + 0.7 = 4t
Separate Collection Rate
3/4*100=75%Non-Commercial Waste
Row 5 is not included in the calculation, as it does not qualify as commercial waste.
