Palabras clave: Sustainability Recycling rate Household and similar waste
Resumen: Household and similar waste generation in Catalonia between 2000 and 2009 has increased a 20.8%, meanwhile population for the same period has been a 18.7%. That means a small increase in generation per capita, rising from 1.51 to 1.53 kg/day, whereas the target established by the Catalan Municipal Waste Management Program (PROGREMIC) for 2012 is 1.48 kg/capita/day. Despite recycling rate of household and similar wastes has increased considerably during the last 9 years (17.7%-37.5%), this value can be improved significantly. Measuring sustainability by means of an indicator that bears generation per capita and recycling rate it is shown that sustainability in Catalonia is low. Nevertheless, important differences exist at a regional level.
