Transparency in Recycling Rates

For its member countries the European Union provides exact figures for the recycling rates >>>

Many thanks for your quick and important Feedback 

Of course, the initiative to shed light on what is really being recycled is meant on a global level. Mathematics is global. Climate is global. And the methods to what extent we protect our climate should be measured the same on a global level.

Benefits of WtERT DSS
First benefit is for nature! This platform, utilized by more and more international decision makers, will enhance a knowledge exchange on Material AND Energy Recovery Techniques, Tax Instruments AND Political Solutions. This finally helps to ensure the mitigation of GHG emissions. The most effective step is to concentrate on closing landfills for untreated waste and to overcome wild dumping.

Calling on MEPs to protect waste management in the ETS revision
Non-recyclable waste is not a fossil fuel that can be replaced with renewables or low-carbon alternatives. It is waste that needs a safe and controlled treatment, preferably not landfills.The second vote on the ETS at the Plenary might help MEPs to find a new balance on this topic.
