Evidence: Supports the 2024 values used for Norway’s Hazardous Waste by Material, 2024.
Values are published in thousands of tonnes.
Approved-treatment and unknown-destination quantities are added within each non-total material category. The zero-valued photo-chemical category is excluded.
All material totals use the same generated-waste measure, treatment-destination scope and 2024 period.
