Study shows: Valuable raw materials hidden in households due to lack of recycling

Sell, donate, dispose of or recycle: The Austrian waste management companies are calling on the population to clean out.

The circular economy thus misses out on valuable raw materials. Gen Z are collection masters, the baby boomer generation are disposal professionals.
