This component contains statistics on the amount and characteristics of residuals generated by human production and consumption processes, their management, and their final release to the environment. Residuals are flows of solid, liquid, and gaseous materials, and energy, that are discarded, discharged, or emitted by establishments and households through processes of production, consumption, or accumulation. The impacts and effects of residuals on human and ecosystem health differ based on one’s nature, scale, and environmental dynamics (UN FDES, 2013).
