Additional Metric Notes
Rationale: Understanding how waste (both hazardous and non-hazardous) is disposed of allows for an understanding of areas where improvements can be made within the value chain. Additional/complementary metrics: Disaggregation by: waste incinerated (with and without energy recovery); waste sent to landfill; and other disposal methods, split into: reused; recycled; and other recovery operations) Financial investment in activity Landscape deep dives: Mekong Delta, VA - rice (+ aquaculture rotation) - Key indicator for this biome where pesticide pollution (including improper disposal of waste) is high due to unregluted use and lack of farmer training
