Waste flows

The table below shows the distribution of waste flows generated by Unica in 2022. The distribution of waste is made transparent every year. The processing method of the waste streams is in accordance with Dutch standards. The waste streams of four locations are not yet clear, so they are not included in the total volume. Waste originating from construction sites is also not included in the volume, because these flows are not transparent. Usually this waste is not removed under the responsibility of Unica, but by the construction contractor or client. For the construction sites and locations where Unica directs, it aims to provide insight into the waste flows in the coming years via the contracted waste processor who also handles the processing at the Unica office locations.
