According to the European Commission, the region generates around 530 kg of municipal waste per person, out of which about 50% of the municipal waste is recycled or composted and 23% is landfilled. Plastic recycling rate is less than 40% in Europe compared to recycling rates of other materials, such as cardboard, paper, and metal.
In September 2021, the European Union set a mandatory target of 30% for recycled content in plastic packaging by 2030. The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD) legislation sets a target of 55% of plastic waste recycled by 2030. However, the region is struggling with achieving the targeted recycling rate.
The major reason for the low recycling rate is the underdeveloped plastic recycling infrastructure in most European countries, resulting in increased exports of plastic waste to Asia Pacific. However, in November 2023, the European Parliament and Council of the EU reached an agreement on waste shipments, wherein the European Union is expected to prohibit the shipment of plastic waste exports.
