Sources: ISAG 1999 and 2000 as (1) Registrations according to EU Regulation 259/93
on shipments of waste, (2) Calculations by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency. The
difference between potential (120 tonnes) and the amount collected (58 tonnes) is due to
the fact that the batteries are not collected separately, but comprised by the general
collection of waste. The collection potential for NiCd batteries may be described on the
basis of calculations of number of batteries discarded, i.e. becoming defect every year,
combined with an assessment of the period of time batteries are kept with the user after
having become defect, i.e. a "hoarding effect" and how long time batteries are
present in the collection system – the so-called "pipeline effect". (3)
Payment of subsidies for recovery of waste oil, (4) Elsam, (5) ISAG and registrations
according to EU Regulation 259/93 on shipments of waste. Remark that corrections have been
made in the table compared to Table 11 of Waste Statistics 1999. Under the terms of
Statutory Order no. 660 of 24th September 1986 on asbestos from the Ministry of
Labour, asbestos is divided into three categories: I) dust emitting asbestos, II) asbestos
that may emit dust, and III) non-dust emitting asbestos. Only asbestos of the first
category is hazardous waste, but reports to the ISAG comprise asbestos of both categories
I and II.
The table shows that hazardous waste from primary sources in 2000 amounted to
183,363 tonnes, which is a decrease of 47,000 tonnes from 1999. The decrease is mainly due
to a decrease in amounts of waste oils: 40,000 tonnes less waste oil was registered in
2000 compared to 1999.
