Brief content	Analyses of the data on the waste generation and management of chemical wastes (6 types: Spent solvents; Acid, alkaline or saline wastes; Used oils; Chemical wastes; Industrial effluent sludges; Sludges and liquid wastes from waste treatment) and wastes from chemical industries (5 types: Recyclable wastes; Equipment; Animal and vegetal wastes; Common sludges; Mineral and solidified wastes) will be presented. Chemical wastes and wastes from chemical industries are both included because not all wastes from chemical industries are chemical wastes (certain types of waste are coming from support processes) and not all chemical wastes are coming from the chemical industry per se. As a case study we have chosen the Visegrád Countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) as they share similar historic background and geographical location in Central Europe. Analyses will cover the official statistical data on the period 2004-2018 (currently available data). The data will be analysed through the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) analysis model and thus decomposed throughout the waste management flow: from waste generated amounts, types of waste streams, their hazardousness/non-hazardousness component all the way to their waste management options (Landfilling, Energy recovery, Recycling and Incineration without energy recovery) (Figure 1.). As a result, we will determine whether the yearly changes in the amounts of chemical waste which are being managed linked to some of the eight influencing factors: waste activity effect, structural effect, mix of waste effect, hazardousness effect, Landfilling effect, energy recovery effect, recycling effect and incineration without energy recovery effect.
