Carton recycling rate in Europe is close to 50 percent
Carton recycling in the European Union is at last within sight of reaching 50 percent. From under 30 percent in 2005, it has risen to 44 percent in 2015 -foodbev.com wrote.
That represents a gigantic 16,000 million cartons. Apparently, the combined figure for recycling and energy recovery is an even higher 74%.
The recycling tonnage, however, has fallen slightly. But even that may be a good sign, if lightweighting requires less material. (foodbev.com)
