SHARE THIS ARTICLE Wind energy has become one of the defining pillars of the global energy transition. Turbines dot landscapes, both onshore and offshore, delivering clean electricity. Yet, as the first generation of turbines ages, a pressing issue looms: what to do with the blades when their operational life ends? Unlike towers or nacelles made predominantly of…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Plasterboard recycling in Europe is a textbook circular-economy opportunity that underperforms. We know how to close the loop but we fail when materials arrive wet, mixed, or too far from a plant to make sense. The winners apply three rules: plan selective demolition, enforce quality specs at the skip, and design logistics around real…
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 Transporting waste across European borders can feel like navigating a minefield of permits, local regulations, and inconsistent rules. Yet, many companies underestimate how quickly a missing document or a misclassified waste code can escalate into a multi‑thousand‑euro fine — or worse, a blocked shipment. The good news? It doesn’t have to be that way….
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Textile waste is piling up across Europe—literally and legislatively. With EU countries generating over 12 million tonnes of textile waste annually and less than a third of it being properly collected, the gap between consumption and sustainable disposal is widening. Meanwhile, tightening regulations, complex logistics, and fragmented recycling infrastructure pose serious challenges for manufacturers,…
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…
SHARE THIS ARTICLE Metal waste is more than just scrap—it’s a critical resource fueling Europe’s transition to a circular economy. With rising demand from industries and tighter EU regulations, exporting metal waste for recycling requires more than good intentions. This guide walks you through the essential steps, challenges, and opportunities for turning metal waste into value—legally, efficiently,…
