What do we see?
The diagram below shows the fractions of packaging and products found in residual waste. In total, we find 37.27 kilograms per inhabitant.
Of this, 48% consists of plastic packaging, in addition we see that 18% of paper and cardboard that is still recyclable is found, as well as 10% of usable textiles.
What’s the aim?
When products are consumed or have reached the end of their useful life, we aim for the highest possible valorisation. For products and their packaging, there are many channels for selective collection, after which optimum processing and valorisation of the relevant fractions can follow. Products and packaging that end up in residual waste are mainly valorised energetically and would ideally end up in other channels.
