Doubling recycling across Europe is feasible, for certain waste streams

According to the European Envirormental Agency (EEA) here is significant potential to increase recycling across Europe for municipal, construction and electronic waste (EEEW).  Compared to current recycled amounts, this potential can double recycling for municipal and electronic waste and increase it by 30 % for construction and demolition waste. More information on  press release  of the EEA  and on the briefing "Estimating the potential for recycling in Europe".

ISPRA, with the support of SNPA, deals with the annual monitoring of all data relating to the production and management waste, including urban waste, construction and demolition waste and the EEEW, ensuring the percentages monitoring of recycling achieved at national level.
