Abstract
Hazardous waste is a waste stream of high concern due to
the potential risks it poses to human health and the
environment if not managed properly. It is therefore
subject to intensive regulation in Europe and beyond.
This report aims to shed some light on the generation and
management of hazardous waste in Europe, based on the
data provided by countries through the EU Waste
Statistics Regulation, and published by Eurostat. A
review of the data was performed to assess the sources
and types of hazardous waste and their treat-ment. The
study includes data from 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012 for
EU-28 plus EEA member countries Iceland, Norway,
Switzerland and Turkey.
