Only a third of EU Member States are likely to meet the recycling targets for municipal and packaging waste
A new report published by the European Commission in June 2023 identifies that only nine of the EU Member States are likely to meet the recycling targets for both municipal waste and total packaging waste: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Slovenia.
Ten Member States are at risk of missing the recycling targets for both municipal waste and total packaging waste. From these, Malta, Croatia, Poland and Romania seem to present the higher risk. Eight Member States are at risk of missing the municipal waste target, but not the total packaging target.
