INDICATOR INSTRUMENT FACTSHEET INDICATOR: WASTE SUB-INDICATOR: WASTEWATER 1. INDICATOR INFORMATION 1.1. GOALS AND TARGETS 1. Goal 1: 100% sludge to be recycled by 2030. 2. Goal 2: 33% of treated effluent to be recycled by 2030. The goal of this instrument is mapped to the following global goals and National targets: United Nations Sustainable Development Goals SDG 12 - Sustainable consumption and production. SDG Target 12.3: By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including postharvest losses. Green Technology Master Plan (GTMP) 2017-2030. 1.2. INDICATOR Waste 1.3. SUB-INDICATOR Wastewater 1.4. LAST UPDATE 9 May 2023 1.5. RELATED SECTORS This indicator instrument applies to the following sectors: • Fisheries (Aquaculture) • Manufacturing • Livestock • Mining 2. DEFINITIONS AND CONCEPTS 2.1. DEFINITION Baseline year: A reference point in time against which a measure of consumption and/or production in the present and/or future are measured. Boundary: A defined border that accounts and limits the key business activities and processes which forms a basis of the study or analysis within the reporting period. Functional Unit: A specific/selected amount of feed or product or service defined as a basis of calculation, such as mass (weight), volume, and units. Reporting period: The time span for which the instrument assesses the organisation. Unless required otherwise time span should be one year. Wastewater: Effluent generated after the use of any water related resources in a variety of applications or processes. Sludge recovery: It is the process of extracting useful components from sludge. Dewatering, thickening, and digesting are just a few of the processes that can be used to recover the sludge and make them ready for repurposed process. 79 GREEN PRACTICES GUIDELINE FOR FISHERIES SECTOR (AQUACULTURE)
