1) The greenhouse gases N2O, CH4 and CO2 are included in the calculations.
2) Refers to direct emissions from NCC’s operations, of which 0.7 (tons 000) derived from the combustion of biomass (2020).
3) Refers to indirect emissions from electricity and heat.

In 2021, the total amount of waste increased somewhat, in part due to reporting being expanded to include more fractions. However, the rate of sorting targeted at reuse/recycling continues to rise and has risen from 48 percent in 2016 to 69 percent in 2021. Work is continuing to reduce the amount of waste and to ensure that the rate of sorting continues to increase during 2021. The statistics cover traditional construction waste. Soil, stone and fill materials, which are directly dependent on the projects’ geography, are usually handled separately and are not included in the statistics. Concrete, bricks and tiles/clinkers are recycled to some extent and are reported for parts of the operations.
