Relationship of the parties/sources to the areas of the Regulation on Waste Statistics:

Waste generation and waste treatment companies submit reports about waste generation and treatment to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA is responsible for preparation of the report in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 2150/2002/EC (WStatR) on waste statistics.

EPA is an institution subordinate to the Ministry of Environment. The functions of the EPA relating to data collecting on waste statistics are regulated by orders of the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania.

Starting from the year 2006, Department of Statistics to the Government of the Republic of Lithuania (Statistics Lithuania) is responsible for performing every other year the sample survey of waste generation in NACE sections A (agriculture, hunting and forestry) and B (fisheries). The EPA is responsible for the sample survey data validation and application for reporting to the WstatR.

 

Assessment of the continuity of the data source, e.g. legal basis for the data source:

Collection and provision of information on waste generation and treatment is regulated by the Rules of Accounting of Waste Generation and Treatment and Preparation of Reports (approved by Order No. 217 of the Minister of Environment on 14-07-1999 as last amended on 05-10-201).

The sample survey of waste generation in NACE sections A and B is included to the National Statistical Programme coordinating by Statistics Lithuania. The sample survey will be performed every other year starting from the year 2006.

General description of Data set 1: Waste generation by waste category (EWC-STAT) and economic activity (NACE)

General description of methodology:

 Waste generation by waste category (EWC-Stat) and economic activities (NACE) is evaluated on basis of:

  • the sample survey data for the NACE sections A and B
  • the administrative data source on waste treatment for all NACE sections, except sections A and B

 

Determination of waste generation in the economy on the basis of information on waste collection

 Data collection is based on administrative data sources (see below).

 

Determination of waste generation in the economy on the basis of administrative sources

 The administrative data source covers annual reports from waste treatment and waste generation companies in all NACE sections, except sections A and B. The main criteria defining the obligation to submit reports are as follows:

-       for waste treatment companies – economic activities related to waste treatment irrespective of the quantities of treated waste

-       for waste generators – a. IPPC permits; b. the quantity of waste generated (12 t/year of non-hazardous waste and/or any amount of hazardous waste; 5 t/year of food waste); c. some specific activities (motor vehicle maintenance and repair, construction and repair, activities generating oil, human or animals health-care activities where work more than 10 persons).

In Lithuania waste collection system covers over 99% of territory, so it could be argued that all generated waste is reflected in waste transport documents that are integral part of waste treatment accounting. Waste management companies must specify in waste transport documents the source of waste generation from which waste is received (company code, name and address). Thus, by company code linked to the Business Register and data about companies’ economic activities stored therein (NACE) the origin of waste can be identified. In case when waste is collected indirectly the following types of waste origin must be indicated:

-        natural or legal persons (i.e. economic activities) waste

-        household waste

-        public (street, park, etc.) waste

For waste collected indirectly from natural and legal persons, economic activity is assigned according to the proportionality factors calculated on the basis of the data of directly collected waste.

 Data sets 2 and 3: Waste treatment

General description of methodology:

 Data on waste treatment is collected from reports of waste managers that they must annually submit to EPA.

 Identification of relevant treatment facilities:

Waste treatment activities in Lithuania may be undertaken only by companies having a permit of Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (hereinafter referred to as the IPPC) and/or subject to the kind of activities registered with the State Register of Waste Management Companies (hereinafter referred to as the SRWMC). Pursuant to the Law on Waste Management, waste treatment are activities involving prevention, accounting, declaration, collection, sorting, marking, transportation, storage, utilisation and disposal of waste.

Companies must have the IPPC permit irrespective of quantities of waste treated if:

-      waste is disposed (D) or recovered (R) (except for companies that recover only non-hazardous waste generated during their production process),

-      waste is collected at waste collection and temporary storage sites or facilities where waste is collected, sorted or otherwise processed prior to its transfer to waste recovery or disposal enterprises,

-      waste is generated and stored at the generation site for longer than specified in the Law on Waste Management: hazardous waste – for longer than 6 months, non-hazardous – for longer than 1 year.

Companies must register with the SRWMC if:

-      they engage in activities involving waste collection, transportation (including import and export), processing, recovery and disposal,

-      they store their own hazardous waste for longer than six months and non-hazardous – for longer than one year at the generation site until collection thereof.

Registration with the SRWMC does not give the right to engage in waste treatment activities where an enterprise does not have the IPPC permit, a licence for managing hazardous waste or other documents required to engage in waste treatment activities.

A company’s subsidiaries (= facilities) located at a different address than the parental company must register with the SRWMC separately.

EPA are responsible for enterprise registration with the SRWMC as well for administration and publicising of the register data.

 

Registers used for identification of waste treatment operations

Identification of register(s) used (name; responsible institution)

Description of register(s) (coverage; frequency and procedure of updating, ..)

 State Register of Waste Management Companies (SRWMC). Responsible institution: Environmental Protection Agency

All waste treatment companies must register with the SRWMC irrespective of the quantities of treated waste.

The data is updated subject to changes in waste management: waste type, waste treatment operations, etc.

Purpose of the Register is to register waste treatment enterprises and create an information base about waste treatment services provided thereby.

 

 

 

 

 

Data collection on treated quantities:

Data on treated quantities of waste is provided by waste managers in waste accounting reports.

Drafting waste accounting reports is regulated by the Rules of Waste Management approved by Order of the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania.

Waste accounting reports must be drafted by enterprises:

-      engaging in activities involving waste recovery and/or disposal (R and D waste treatment operations)

-      exporting/importing waste

A company’s subsidiaries (= waste treatment facilities) located at a different address than the parental company must submit separate waste accounting reports.

Companies must draft waste accounting reports irrespective of the quantities of waste treated.

Where the quantity of non-hazardous waste of one kind accepted from one waste sender exceeds 12 tons/year and that of hazardous waste – 0.6 tons/year, this waste in the report must be specified under a separate line.

The report must quote quantities of waste treated observing the accounting balance requirements:

W as of the end of the year = W as of the beginning of the year + W received – W treated – W transferred

where

W is waste quantity.

This requirement does not apply where waste is treated by waste pre-treatment operations D8, D9, D13, D14 and R12.

Classification of waste type and waste treatment operations

To classify waste type the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) is used, R and D treatment operations are used to classify ways of waste treatment. Moreover, an additional group of waste treatment operations is used:

S1 – collection

S2 – transportation

S3 – import

S4 – export

S5 – processing during which unusable vehicles, electric and electronic equipment, oil filters, shock absorbers, accumulators, etc. are destroyed, cut and fragmented separating components thereof potentially capable of polluting the environment.

Origin of waste

Waste management companies must specify in waste transport documents the source of waste generation from which waste is received (company code, name and address). Thus, by company code linked to the Business Register and data about companies’ economic activities stored therein (NACE) the origin of waste can be identified. In case waste is collected indirectly the following types of waste origin must be indicated:

-        natural or legal persons (i.e. economic activities) waste

-        household waste

-        public (street, park, etc.) waste

For waste collected indirectly from natural and legal persons, economic activity is assigned according to the proportionality factors calculated on the basis of the data of directly collected waste.

Frequency of data collection

Reports are submitted every year.

Institutions responsible for data collection

Enterprises submit waste accounting reports to REPDs responsible for primary check of data submitted. The final data check, validation and integration in the national waste accounting information system is performed by the EPA.

(D2,D3,D4, D6,D7)

 The treated waste quantities by treatment category (D2, D3, D4, D6, D7) are provided by waste treatment companies in annual reports on waste treatment.

 

Data collection on capacity of treatment facilities:

 The data on capacity of waste treatment facilities is collected from the IPPC permits. All waste treatment companies and their subsidiaries (facilities) must have permits where design and permitted capacities of each facility are indicated.
3.2. Frequency of data collection

The administrative data on generation and treatment are collected annually, the sample survey (foe the NACE section A abd B) is undertaken every second year (in odd-numbered years).
3.3. Data collection

The list of respondents to be surveyed was derived from the Statistical Register of Enterprises and the Statistical Register of Farms.

 

Agriculture

Population of agricultural farms was 121 727 units.

A stratified simple random sampling design was used. Agricultural farms were divided by standard output – SO (the value of production of each agricultural statistical indicator):

Some smaller agricultural farms, that are engaged in economic activities, which lead to generating much waste, where also included into the fifth stratum.

 

Into the fifth stratum, all farms were interviewed.

The rest of the farms population was divided into 4 strata using Dalenius and Hodges the Cumrule. The sample size in strata was calculated using Neyman optimal allocation to strata, thus the limits of strata in the table above were obtained. Moreover, stratification by municipalities was conducted. The sample size for a certain municipality was calculated using proportional allocation of the sample to strata.

 

Population of agricultural enterprises was 965 units.

The agricultural enterprises were divided into strata by groups of economic activities (NACE Rev. 2) and number of employees:

Annex I on waste generation:

 NACE section A and B is covered by sample survey, sections C-G and housholds – by annual reports of waste generation and treatment companies. Waste collection system covers 100% of NACE sections C-G and households.

 

Annex II on waste treatment:

 Excluded waste quantities:

imported waste

Facilities whose waste treatment activities are limited to the recycling of waste on the site where the waste was generated, are not covered by this Annex.

 NACE Sectors G-Q. Application of waste treatment data for estimation of waste generation in the economy leads to some errors in case when unsorted businesses (commercial) waste collected via municipal waste collection sysytem (collected in waste containers). Usually, waste collecting companies assign such waste to waste generated by household.This applied mainly to waste generated by small businesses, i.e. NACE sectors G-Q.

The data quality check is performed in 2 stages:

-      primary check covers identification of arithmetic and logical errors. This function is performed by PPWIS software that 1) ensures that all mandatory fields would be filled in; 2) warns the data recorder when information about waste quantities does not meet quantitative balance requirements; 3) by the EWC code automatically fills in the fields of the EWC-Stat code and waste category – hazardous or non-hazardous; 4) makes data cross-check with the SRWMC, etc.

-      complex check covers logical, statistical and contextual analysis (time series check, cross-check with data of databases not integrated with PPWIS, etc.). This function and final validation is performed by EPA

10% companies per year are inspected by the Environmental Protection Department.

 Detailed description and consequences:

 Comparing data of Lithuania and of other countries on waste generation and treatment, it is necessary to take into consideration the following waste accounting problems:

  1. unsorted businesses waste usually is classified as mixed municipal waste, as a result, a part of mixed municipal waste generated in the economy is more or less overestimated, while not sorted businesses waste – underestimated. This applied mainly to waste generated by small businesses, i.e. NACE sectors G-Q.
  2. waste generation by NACE sectors is evaluated only by the main economic activities of the company (in terms of income earned).

A company’s branches located at a different address than the parental company must submit separate waste accounting reports. Thus, a separate report is submitted on each waste treatment facility of the company. It must be pointed out that the parental company does not provide any data about its branches, in this case – waste treatment facilities, which is why the double accounting problem is not relevant.

Data on imported and exported waste quantities are not included when drafting a report according to the WStatR requirements.
