2.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
Waste means any substance or object, which the producer or the person in possession of it, discards Hazardous waste is waste containing substances which possess one or more of the following properties: explosiveness, reactivity, ignitability, irritability, Non-hazardous waste is waste which does not possess the characteristics of hazardous waste. Waste recovery are the operations which objective is usage of usable substances and ingredients, and cover treatments for re-usage of waste, for recycling, and for usage of waste as source for energy, excluding the waste incineration intended for its final disposal. In accordance with the European Regulation, waste which is recycled at the place where it is generated, it is not considering as generated waste, i.e. the amount of this waste is not shown in the total amount of generated waste. Waste disposal are the operations which provide final solution for the waste that cannot be re-used or recovered, without endangering the environment and human life and health. |

Over-coverage Some local units do not report data, because they were identified they were either inactive, dormant or bancrupt or some other reason which made the reporting inadequate. Under-coverage Since all the reporting units are included in the survey which have been registered at the business register in sections B, C and D this error does not occur in the survey. Some local units do not report data, because they were identified in other NACE section.

Statistical units selected in the survey are in accordance with the rules, valid for the Business register. Main unit in the business register is a local unit . Units are selected by economic activity (NACE А-У) and by number of employees. All collected data are measured in tones of waste. We made the validation of the questionnaire on the basis of pilot survey and since we established the cooperation with Ministry of Environment in 2008. Questionnaires were tested on 90 enterprises and there were no major remarks from the enterprises to be encompassed into the questionnaire. Questionnaire has not been significantly changed for the full scale survey, so enterpresises did not have problems with fulfilling it. A questionnaire for the 2020 was the same as it was in 2009. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6.3.3. Non response error | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Of the 206 questionnaires which were not completed:
questionnaire which is considered as a negative answer
After the analysis according to the notes received from the field for each reporting unit, it can be definitely concluded that the "non-response" is accurately defined. Within the non-response are included: - All reporting units, which refused to be interviewed; - All reporting units for which the obtained data proved that they are not working, based on the received information specified at the address list used at the field (each interviewer had an obligation to record the actual situation within the part of notes); - Half of the reporting units identified on the field, but which were empty (for those assumed that they were working at the reference year 2010). Based on the above mentioned the non-response has been treated. The report is consists of the results about generated, recovered and disposed waste. The quantity is expressed in tones. There is also information on how the coefficient of correction concerning non-response is calculated (number of all companies in the stratum /number companies that respond in the stratum. So companies are first grouped by 2-digit nace activity and then they are divided into 4 groups concerning how big they are (small-two groups, medium and large):
Outliers (those records with data out of the range [ mean -2 STD, mean+2STD] were not multiplied), but they were included in the sum. |

6.3.4. Processing error | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
After the questionnaires were collected and sorted accordingly whether they were completed or no completed the processing steps began with data editing of the completed questionnaires. First the questionnaires were visually examined in order to identify particular data errors so the data could be corrected. The most common processing errors identified are partially missing data regarding the waste type codes and use of incorrect or less appropriate waste (Low) codes in regard to business activity performed by a local unit. Other type of errors are data that aren’t stated in tones but in some other units (in kilograms, cubic meters, or pieces). For correction the factors of conversion have been used. The collected data on waste are coded on national level according to the National List of Waste (based on European List of Waste - LoW) classification. For reporting purposes of Waste Statistics Regulation, SSO of Republic of North Macedonia prepared data according to WStatR classification. Regarding how coding is handled and of the validation routines established. This is done in both visual and automatic way (Blaise programme). |
