Which type of waste is best recycled or refilled?
Metallic and glass waste. It’s probably quite easy to reuse metal and refill glass containers.
The least recycled are mixed ordinary wastes of which almost half are generated by households (as seen in the previous chart).
May it be the motivation for sorting – if more mixed waste became recyclable waste, more would be … recycled.
