A Review of Recent Trends to Increase the Share of Post-Consumer Packaging Waste to Recycling in Europe

Abstract: Through the Circular Economy Package, the EU aims to reduce material imports and environmental impacts of waste management. Ambitious recycling targets should help to achieve these objectives. As a response, the waste industry developed technical and organizational solutions that can intervene at different stages of a waste management system in order to increase the recovery of recycling materials, starting with improved separate collection over the use of modern material recovery facilities up to the enhanced… Show more

“…Participation in source separation is influenced by a variety of factors, for example, consumption patterns and consumer behavior (Knickmeyer, 2020; Minelgaite & Liobikiene, 2019; Tong et al., 2018). An intensified use of material recovery facilities for residual waste is being discussed, particularly in urban areas with little participation in source separation, to exploit the resource potential in the residual waste (Lederer et al., 2022). In Germany, MBT is implemented as a low‐intensity type of a material recovery facility, applied to 17% of residual waste (BMU, 2018), without separating plastics for recycling.…”
