The purpose of this study is to investigate the complex interdependencies between economic activities and waste generation within the Polish economy, focusing on identifying the key sectors and observing their changes in sectoral categorisation between 2010 and 2018 (the most current data available). By using Input-Output (IO) tables and analysing five pairs of backward and forward linkages, the research aims to identify the key sectors in the context of waste generation, the changes in sectoral-linkage classifications over the specified period, and the implications of these dynamics for policy-making and strategic planning in the realm of sustainable development. The findings reveal significant insights into the patterns of waste generation across different sectors, highlighting the Mining and Quarrying, Manufacturing, and Energy sectors as the primary contributors. The study also takes into consideration the size of sectors, which allows for the comparison of areas of the economy with different functions and scales. By including this parameter, it was possible to identify the Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing sector, and two sectors from the Manufacturing group as key sectors. Moreover, the study identifies shifts in the waste generation profile of sectors, offering a nuanced understanding of the economy's structural changes in relation to waste generation. By filling an empirical knowledge gap with detailed analysis, this research not only advances the understanding of waste management strategies within Poland but also provides a valuable database for policymakers to develop targeted and effective interventions.

Celem artykułu jest zbadanie współzależności między sektorami gospodarczymi a generowaniem odpadów w polskiej gospodarce, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem identyfikacji sektorów kluczowych oraz obserwacji zmian w ich kategoryzacji sektorowej między 2010 a 2018 rokiem. Poprzez wykorzystanie tabel przepływów międzygałęziowych oraz analizę pięciu par powiązań wstecznych i wyprzedzających, badanie ma na celu zidentyfikowanie kluczowych sektorów w kontekście generowania odpadów, zmian w klasyfikacjach powiązań sektorowych w określonym okresie oraz implikacje tych dynamik dla tworzenia polityki i planowania strategicznego w obszarze zrównoważonego rozwoju. Wyniki pokazują znaczące wnioski dotyczące wzorców generowania odpadów w różnych sektorach, wyróżniając sektory Górnictwo i Wydobycie, Przetwórstwo Przemysłowe oraz Energetykę jako główne źródła w kontekście generowania odpadów. Badanie uwzględnia również wielkość sektorów, co umożliwia porównanie obszarów gospodarki o różnych funkcjach i skalach. Dzięki uwzględnieniu tego parametru możliwe było zidentyfikowanie sektora Rolnictwo, Leśnictwo i Rybołówstwo oraz dwóch sektorów z grupy Przetwórstwa Przemysłowego jako kluczowych sektorów. Ponadto, badanie wskazuje zmiany w profilu generowania odpadów przez sektory, oferując dogłębne zrozumienie zmian strukturalnych gospodarki w relacji do generowania odpadów. Poprzez wypełnienie luki w empirycznej wiedzy za pomocą szczegółowej analizy, badanie nie tylko poszerza zrozumienie strategii zarządzania odpadami w Polsce, ale również dostarcza cenną bazę danych dla decydentów politycznych, co pozwala opracować celowane i skuteczne interwencje w odpowiednich sektorach gospodarki.
