How much Waste (Garbage, Trash) is produced in the world?
Waste is a pervasive but unnoticed part of our lives.
Many nations face a looming waste management crisis, as their landfills reach capacity and continue to degrade the environment.
New innovative waste-collection and construction techniques – reduce waste volume and minimise environmental and health impacts.
- Europe produces two billion tons of domestic rubbish every year and only 10% of its waste being recycled .
- Hamburg generated 1.6 millions tons of waste, of which less than 4 percent was recycled. Today, produces only 1.4 million tons and recycles nearly 60 percent of its waste. The UK is estimated to recycle about 17.7% and whereas Austria, approx 60% of its waste being recycled.
- By 2020, the European Union will require member nations to reduce the amount of trash sent to landfills to 35 percent of what it was in 1995.
