abstract = {This paper employs Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment and Data Envelopment Analysis to attribute
total (direct and indirect) hazardous waste generation to the different industries and to connect total hazardous
waste generation to the value added generated by each industry in Spain. In difference with previous studies we
include all the industries of the economy and we focus on one specific type of environmental burden: the generation of hazardous waste. The results show that there is a very high concentration in total hazardous waste generation: only three industries accounted for almost 80% of total hazardous waste generation. This concentration
also affects the type of hazardous waste generated. Thus, we find two main types of waste that account for 93% of
total hazardous waste. Overall, the greatest hazardous waste generating industries are also the least efficient ones
and exhibit a high improvement potential. Prevention measures directed to these industries should be
implemented.},
