| 1) |
The uncertainties stated express the authors’
estimates of uncertainty of quantitative data that is calculated on the basis of
sources stated, and not necessarily the uncertainty of the sources by themselves. For
example, quantities of metal recycled are calculated on the basis of several code numbers
in the Foreign Trade Statistics, and the uncertainty is associated with the fact that
products covered by the code number also contain other materials. |
| 2) |
States for each material fraction the assessed proportion
of quantities disposed that is collected for recycling. "?" states that the
proportion is a rough estimate and very uncertain. |
| 3) |
Statuses and mass-flow analyses less than 10 years old
are available for several metals, but there is no general rule as to update frequency of
these analyses. |
