Urban waste composition in Catalonia

Description

The 'waste' data set studies the relationship between waste composition and floating population in Catalonia. The actual population of a municipality combines census population and floating population (tourists, seasonal visitors, temporary workers, and similar short-term residents), expressed as equivalent full-time residents.

The composition of urban solid waste is classified into five parts:

  • 'x1': non-recyclable waste,

  • 'x2': glass,

  • 'x3': light containers,

  • 'x4': paper and cardboard,

  • 'x5': biodegradable waste.

Waste generation and composition are influenced by floating population, which makes waste composition a useful predictor of this difficult-to-measure demographic quantity.
