Jersey · Environment · 1990–2024

Most of the fall in Jersey’s emissions happened before 2010.

Total emissions are 49% lower than in 1990, but almost all of that change happened in the first half of the run - the 2010s and 2020s have been much flatter.

Waste

Household recycling rate, 2003-2020

Non-inert (household and commercial) waste only - not construction/demolition waste, which is reported separately. The dataset does not carry a directly comparable rate figure past 2020: later resources on the portal report tonnage on a revised methodology, not spliced onto this series.

Axis starts at 15%, not zero
