Treatment of organic waste collected in Europe 2017

Published by ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Research Department, Jan 8, 2026
This statistic represents the different techniques used to eliminate organic waste (food waste and green waste). In 2017, ** percent of organic waste was recycled, but ** percent of organic waste was neither recycled nor reused. More than half of the discarded food is therefore placed in landfills or incinerated to produce energy.

This has harmful consequences for the environment since in landfills, food penetrates the soil and air, thereby damaging the environment, notably through methane emissions. The incineration of food, on the other hand, emits greenhouse gases.
