Translated Title
Analysis of packaging waste in 1996 for monitoring
of the Dutch Packaging Covenant

Abstract
In het kader van het Convenant Verpakkingen wordt door
het RIVM jaarlijks gemeten hoeveel verpakkingsmateriaal als afval vrijkomt
en hoeveel wordt hergebruikt. De meting heeft betrekking op
verpakkingsafval afkomstig van huishoudens, de kantoor-,winkel- en
dienstensector en de industrie. De hoeveelheid verpakkingsafval uit
huishoudens wordt bepaald aan de hand van sorteeranalyses van het RIVM
(afvalsamenstelling) in combinatie met gegevens van het CBS (hoeveelheid
afval). Voor de twee overige sectoren wordt gebruik gemaakt van een
enquete. Tussen 1995 en 1996 steeg de totale hoeveelheid verpakkingsafval
met 3%. De stijging komt geheel voor rekening van de kantoor-, winkel- en
dienstensector. Ten opzichte van 1986 steeg de totale hoeveelheid met
ongeveer 15%. In 1996 werd 52% van het verpakkingsafval hergebruikt.
Daarbij lagen glas (72%), papier (62%) en blik (64%) boven het gemiddelde.
Het hergebruik van aluminium (16%) en kunststof (11%) blijft
bescheiden.
This analysis forms part of a monitoring system to check on the progress made in realising the objectives laid down in the Dutch Packaging Covenant (an agreement between the Dutch government and 'the packaging chain'). It provides information on the amount, composition and destination of packaging waste from households, the commercial sector and the industry. The amount and composition of packaging waste originating from households has been measured for the last 20 years by means of sorting analyses. Questionaires were used to measure packaging waste from the commercial and indutrial sectors for 1992-1996. Between 1995 and 1996 the total amount of packaging waste increased by 3%. The increase was totally caused by the commercial sector. Compared to 1986 the total amount of packaging waste increased by approximately 15%. In 1996 about 52% of the total amount of packaging waste was reused. Glass (72%), paper (62%) and steel (64%) do score higher than the overall average. Reuse of aluminum (16%) and plastic (11%) remains modest.
