Topics: Resource efficiency and waste

The figure shows the development of packaging waste management in the EU-27 in the period 2010-2020, divided in three categories: recycling, energy recovery and other recovery, and other treatment (incl. landfill). The 'other' category is the difference between generated packaging waste and recovery. No further information is available about the treatment of non-recovered packaging waste.
