Waste monthly generation

Data from Balearic Islands

The generation of waste is closely linked to the demographic pressure of a territory.

In the case of the Balearic Islands, the influx of tourism represents a significant increase in waste generation per capita in some months of the year, a fact that can lead to the collapse of waste management and treatment facilities.
