2013 survey of waste production and management at European refiners

Report no. 12/17: This report provides a statistical analysis of waste production by Concawe member company refineries in 2013, based on survey data returned from 74 member company refineries (71% response rate) situated in the EU-28 countries + Norway and Switzerland. It includes a breakdown of waste tonnage according to the origin of the waste, how it was managed and how it was classified under the 2008 Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC).

This findings from the survey, together with those of previous Concawe waste surveys for 1993 (Concawe; 1-95) and 1986 (Concawe; 5-89), show how the sector has responded to developments in EU waste legislation over the past 30 years. In addition, the data constitute a modern baseline for the future assessment of performance.
