SHARE THIS ARTICLE Electronic waste grows faster than many expect. In 2022, the world generated a record 62 million tonnes of e‑waste, yet only about 22–24% was collected and recycled – with projections pointing to a further decline by 2030. This underscores a critical imbalance: consumption is accelerating, but our recycling systems are lagging behind. Europe, though…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Europe generates vast amounts of industrial plastic waste. In 2022, the EU produced around 16.16 million tonnes of plastic packaging waste—an average of 36.1 kg per person, up by nearly 8 kg since 2012. Most of this was recycled (40.7%), but a significant share still went to energy recovery (35%) or was exported (about 1.3 million tonnes) due…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Waste management is the unsung backbone of modern industry. From the first moment waste is generated, each step—generation, collection, transport, treatment/disposal—carries specific legal, logistical, and environmental challenges. For waste producers, the threat of misclassification, illegal handling, or working with unlicensed carriers can lead to fines, criminal charges, or reputational damage. Collectors and carriers face…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Waste management has evolved from being the overlooked backstage chore into a powerhouse of resource value. What was once seen as simple garbage is now a source of materials, revenue, and environmental protection. However, mishandling it brings serious risk: fines, jail time, ecological disaster, and lasting reputational damage. Thus, companies must face uncertainty wisely….
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Waste transport sits at the crossroads of responsibility and risk. It’s not glamorous, yet it’s essential—particularly as Europe shifts toward a circular economy. Over time, transport has reshaped the waste industry. Delivering industrial residues, recyclable materials, and hazardous byproducts across borders is now a cornerstone of sustainable production and consumption. As Europe generates increasing…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Navigating SENT compliance in Poland is about keeping your transport business moving without delays, penalties, or reputational risk. Whether you’re new to transporting goods on Polish roads or simply need clarity on who must register, what must be reported, and how the system really works in practice, this guide gives you the essential knowledge…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Rubber waste management has long been a thorny issue in Europe’s sustainability goals. From tires discarded in fields to bulky industrial scraps ending up in landfills, managing rubber-based materials is both an environmental challenge and an economic opportunity. As regulatory pressure grows and circular economy targets tighten, the question isn’t whether we should recycle…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Medical waste represents one of the most sensitive and tightly regulated waste streams in Europe. With growing healthcare needs and heightened awareness around infection prevention, safe disposal of medical waste is no longer just a logistical requirement—it’s a legal, environmental, and public health imperative. Across the European Union, healthcare facilities generate over 2.5 million…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Biowaste accounts for 30–50% of Europe’s municipal solid waste, making it a major stream with untapped potential. While in the past much of this biodegradable waste ended up in landfills or incinerators, the EU’s growing focus on sustainability has placed biowaste at the core of circular economy strategies. Properly managed, biowaste offers multiple benefits:…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Europe generates vast volumes of plastic waste. In 2022 alone, EU countries produced 16.16 million tonnes of plastic packaging waste, recycling just 40.7%. Germany leads both in production and exports: in late 2024, it dispatched roughly 15.4 million kg/month of plastic waste abroad. Meanwhile, non-OECD destinations—especially Türkiye—now absorb 44 million kg/month, underlining capacity constraints and cost pressures in…
