We need to legislate to make the use of recycled materials cheaper in money than virgin materials in order to make the environmental savings essential for a positive future.
In 2024, 12% of materials in the EU came from #recycling, finds new #Eurostat data.
While progress between 2023 and 2024 was just 0.1%, this is still the highest recycling rate so far. Top performing countries include Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Estonia and Malta.
