EUROPEN: Statistieken verpakkingsafval 1998-2011 tonen jaarlijkse toename hoeveelheid gerecyclede verpakkingen

27 februari 2014

EUROPEN’s new analysis of official EU data on the evolution of packaging waste rates (1998-2011) shows yearly increases in packaging recycling rates and a steady decline in packaging waste going to landfill.
By the end of 2011, 64% of packaging placed on the market in EU-27 was being recycled, largely exceeding the 55% minimum recycling target currently set by the packaging and packaging waste directive. In the older Member States (EU-15), 65% of the packaging placed on the market was recycled; 51% was recycled in the newer Member States (EU-12) 1, but the targets do not apply to these countries until 2012 or later (Persbericht EUROPEN, 18 februari 2014).
