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.

The population in the Balearic Islands increases significantly during summer, almost doubling waste production during July and August compared to the winter months.
