When the waste we create leaves our homes, where does it go?
In the EU, 4.8 tonnes of waste were generated by each resident in 2020, 39.2% of which was processed and recycled. The majority (55.6%) arrived at landfill or backfilled, either within its country of origin (32.2%) or exported abroad (67.8%), while a fraction – less than 6.5% – was converted to energy.
