Description
This dataset represents the average urban solid waste treatment situation in the Central China region, which includes Henan, Hubei, and Hunan provinces. This dataset reflects the treatment mix (technology mix) for 'municipal solid waste.' It is recommended for use in representing average municipal/public waste mixtures and is not suitable for representing any single specific waste stream, such as plastics, paper, or cardboard.
This dataset is calculated based on the statistical yearbook of urban and rural construction--provincial data on urban municipal environmental sanitation.
