EU: Recycling van drankenkartons toegenomen tot 43%

Some 420.000 tonnes of beverage cartons were recycled in paper mills in 2014, according to industry-wide figures from Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment (ACE). This represents a recycling rate of 43% in Europe (EU-28, Norway and Switzerland) and is evidence of the continuing upward trend in recycling performance over the last two decades. The total recovery rate (recycling and energy recovery) in 2014 reached 76%.
Several countries including Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and Spain recycle 70% or more of all beverage cartons put on the market. A steady increase is seen in new EU Member States and substantial advance in the UK (Nieuwsbericht ACE, 15 december 2015).
