Recovered municipal waste is defined as waste that undergoes material recycling or other forms of recovery (including energy recovery, composting), excluding landfilling.&nbsp;</li> <li><strong>Wasterwater treated</strong> is measured by the share of population connected to at least secondary wastewater treatment.</li> </ul> <p>Data is collected via delegates of the OECD Working Party on Territorial Indicators (WPTI), as well as from national statistical offices' websites.</p> <p><strong>Definition of regions</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Regions are subnational units below national boundaries.

The OECD regions are presented in the OECD Territorial grid <a href="https://webfs-cfe.oecd.org/files/.Stat/region/OECD_territorial-grid_TL2024.pdf">(pdf)</a> and in the OECD Territorial correspondence table <a href="https://webfs-cfe.oecd.org/files/.Stat/region/OECD%20Territorial%20correspondence%20-%20TL2024c.xlsx">(xlsx)</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Cite this dataset</strong></p> <p>OECD Regions and Cities databases&nbsp;<a href="http://oe.cd/geostats">http://oe.cd/geostats</a></p> <p><strong>Further information</strong></p> <ul> <li>The interactive web-tool&nbsp;<a href="https://regions-cities-atlas.oecd.org/">OECD Regions and Cities Statistical Atlas</a>&nbsp;</li> <li>The report <a href="https://www.oecd.org/governance/oecd-regions-and-cities-at-a-glance-26173212.htm">OECD Regions and Cities at a Glance</a></li> </ul> <p>Contact:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:RegionStat@oecd.org">RegionStat@oecd.org</a></p>
