The accounts also include imports and exports of waste. The Waste Accounts have been published since 2015, based on data from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency. The Waste Accounts is a part of the Environmental-Economic Accounts for Denmark (Green National Accounts)., Statistical presentation, Waste accounts measure the amounts of generated waste distributed to 117 industry groups. Within the industry groups, waste is distributed according to categories and forms of treatment. Imports and exports of waste are distributed according to form of treatment and waste category. The waste accounts are published annually and disseminated through a press release and tables in the StatBank., Municipal waste by municipality, treatment form and waste type is compiled for the first time in 2023., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Waste data are validated in the Danish Environmental Protection Agency before Statistics Denmark receives them. The data processing in Statistics Denmark primarily concerns the detailed and complete distribution of the waste to the 117 industry groups of the Green National Accounts., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Waste accounts are of relevance for administrative bodies, researchers, NGOs, businesses, the educational sector and individuals - all with interests in waste, resources, economic-environmental interactions, the circular economy etc. To ensure international comparability, the waste accounts are prepared according to the UN statistical standard SEEA (System of Environmental Economic Accounting) 2012., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The quality is good concerning the figures for total amounts of waste as well as the amounts for different forms of treatment. However, the distribution by waste fractions become more uncertain at more detailed levels, due to measurement errors (in the reporting)., The detailed distribution according to industry groups is subject to uncertainty, both in the source (ADS) and in the assumptions made in the distribution of waste to detailed industry groups. , Waste by individual municipalities is less precise than totals for the municipality groups due to waste from one municipality being treated at a facility in a different municipality, or waste stations being used by inhabitants of several different municipalities etc., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published 21 months after the end of the reference period. The long production time is due to the dependency on data from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency. The statistics are normally released on schedule without delay., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The methods and data sources for the Waste Accounts are unchanged throughout the period covered by published figures. International comparison is possible with all other waste accounts based on UN's statistical standard SEEA 2012., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, These statistics are published yearly in a Danish press release and in the StatBank under , Waste Accounts, ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

The statistics on eggs have a long history and date back to the 20th century. Since 1955, the statistics have been compiled on the same basis as is used today. From 1996 and onwards, the production of consumer eggs divided into production forms: i.e. eggs from caged hens, barn eggs, free-range eggs and organic eggs. , Statistical presentation, The statistics for eggs production are a quarterly and yearly measurement of the total production of eggs for human consumption and hatching eggs in Denmark. The total production of eggs includes sales to authorized packing companies and estimates for the producers' consumption of own eggs and their direct sales to consumers. The total production of eggs to authorized egg packaging centers is subdivided into the following production types: Cage eggs, barn eggs, free range eggs and organic eggs. In addition, ungraded eggs sold (barn door sales) and used on agricultural holdings are estimated. , Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, Data is collected quarterly from the egg packers on the sale of weighed eggs for consumption by types of eggs.
