About This Statistic

Sewage sludge production and disposal from urban wastewater (in dry substance (d.s)); fixed slice freq: Annual [A]; unit: Thousand tonnes [THS_T]; ww_tp: Urban wastewater treatment plants - total [URB_TP]; ww_tpar: Sludge production - total [SLP]

MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2024 Eurostat slice recorded below. Aggregates, missing values, non-ISO geographies, conflicting duplicate observations, and every other year or dimension slice are excluded; MapTheory never imputes or interpolates missing countries.
