Litter and fly-tipping in Flanders in 2017

In your opinion, have the quantities and policy costs of litter and fly-tipping in Flanders in recent years:

• Increased
• Decreased, or
• Stayed more or less the same?

 IDEA Consult is supporting OVAM in collecting new survey data and in estimating the quantities and policy costs of litter and fly-tipping for the year 2017.

In 2013, OVAM launched its first study to calculate the quantities of litter and the associated policy costs for Flanders.   This study was repeated for the year 2015, although this time fly-tipping was included for the first time. The study was repeated this year for 2017, for both litter and fly-tipping. The comparability between 2015 and 2017 of both the survey and upscaling methodology are key in order to be able to make a relevant comparison over time.

What do you expect has happened to the quantities and policy costs of litter and fly-tipping between 2015 and 2017? We hope to be able to let you know the results in our next newsletter.
