In fiscal year 2021, the final waste disposal volume amounted to around 3.4 million metric tons. Incineration residue made up the largest volume, with about 2.67 million metric tons. Even though the final waste disposal volume declined continuously throughout the past decade, the country is facing a shortage of landfill sites, as the remaining capacity of landfill sites for final waste disposal is shrinking.
