Wales was set a tough challenge of recycling 52% of its waste by the year 2012-2013.
Wales was set a tough challenge of recycling 52% of its waste by the year 2012-2013. This target was in line with the EU Landfill Directive which aims to reduce the levels of methane given off by landfill sites in all member states. Recently published statistics show Wales has achieved an impressive recycling rate of 54%.
The 54% statistic refers to household recycling, and this is a rise of 2% on the previous year. It is great to hear that the total waste from councils and homes also decreased over the same period. Drilling down into the figures, we learn that from October to December 2013, the non-recycled waste per person in Wales was 51 kilos. Given that Wales is the best recycling country in the UK, how much more are the rest of us producing?
Well done Wales; now on to the 2024-2025 target of recycling 70% of waste.
