When transformint WasteTRT data provided by the Icelandic Environment Agencyto WasteGEN we use an old indexing method from 2014 based on waste quantities and waste classes used by municipal waste handlers and private enterprices at that time. This method of projecting data is quite incomplete and the Environment Agency is working on a new method. |
