Just yesterday Copenhagen commune sent me a leaflet on recycling. It has statistics for the proportion of each waste stream that is recycled, which I hadn't seen before. 99% of glass (reused whole bottles, re-melted to new glass) 98% of cardboard (more cardboard) 98% of paper (more paper, cardboard) 97% of indoor wood (chipboard) 82% of food waste (biogas, fertilizer) 82% of garden waste (heat, fertilizer) 72% of food/drink cartons (cardboard, presumably the aluminium is used too) 71% of plastic (packaging, car parts) ??% of metal waste ??% of electronic waste ??% of battery waste (for these two it's apparently not the city's responsibility) Hazardous waste is not generally recycled Residual waste (the rest of the rubbish) is incinerated for district heat. (And yes, I have bins for all of those in my apartment building, except garden waste since there's no garden.) https://i.imgur.com/YNqLjL7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YNqLjL7.jpg (in English).
