Map description
The map of wood waste from municipal waste was based on 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Gas Inventories. The amount of wood waste depends on the region. In the Northern Europe (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden) 10% of MSW are wood waste, in the Eastern part (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia) it is 7.5%, in Southern Europe (Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Turkey) 10.6%, the highest amount of wood waste is in the Western Europe (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Switzerland, United Kingdom) 11%.

The map presents theoretical potential of biomass from demolition and construction waste. To calculate this biomass potential data from the Demowood project (2014) were used. The project defined the amount of wood waste per capita. In this project, the data was prepared only for Finland, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, while the remaining countries were not included. Therefore, the value set for Germany (36.8 kg per person) was adopted for Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark; for Estonia, Sweden and Latvia, the value for Finland (184 kg per person), for Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Luxembourg, Croatia, Malta, Romania, Great Britain and Bulgaria, French figures (28.47 kg per person) were used, and for Slovenia, data from Austria (33.66 kg per person) were accepted.

The map presents the potential of wood industry by-products. The data on wood industry waste was obtained from the Renew project. The potential of biomass from wood industry is grouped in four fractions:by-products from sawmills,by-products from pulp and paper industry,by-products from board industry,by-products from other wood processing industries.

The map present current situation about landfilling organic waste or non-pre-treatment waste. Map based on date form EEA.
Map shows ecosystems of selected European countries. We have distinguished three main ecosystems:
energy recovery, recycling and mixed. Mixed means that there are both ways of managing wood waste,
when one of them is noticeably larger, it has been alsp defined as oriented to energy or recycling.
Map present level of recovery of wood waste in EU countries. Was created based on Eurostat data (env_wastrt).
Map present level of recycling of wood waste in EU countries. Was created based on Eurostat data (env_wastrt).
