Notes:
Residus industrials: dades obtingudes a partir de les declaracions anuals dels residus industrials, segons la legislació vigent (article 4.3 del Decret 142/84). No s'hi inclouen els residus exclosos segons la Llei 6/1993, de 15 de juliol, reguladora dels residus, ni els que no són de procedència industrial.
Les declaracions anuals dels residus industrials van dirigides als establiments industrials, per tant, una determinada empresa ha de presentar tantes declaracions com factories tingui a Catalunya.
