The formula to calculate the Waste Index (WI) is:
\[ WI = \left(\frac{WD}{TW}\right) \times 100 \]
Where:
The Waste Index (WI) is a measure of the efficiency of waste management practices. It is calculated by dividing the amount of waste diverted from landfills or incineration (through recycling, composting, etc.) by the total amount of waste generated, then multiplying by 100 to express it as a percentage. A higher Waste Index indicates more effective waste diversion.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Waste Index (WI):
\[ WI = \left(\frac{WD}{TW}\right) \times 100 = \left(\frac{300}{1000}\right) \times 100 = 30\% \]
The Waste Index (WI) is 30%.
