The number is greenwashing because it's including "thermal Recycling" aka burning. https://www.umweltbundesamt.de/daten/ressourcen-abfall/verwertung-entsorgung

  How is that even allowed to be called recycling? As in, is it genuinely a term defined legally and, if so, who allowed this to happen? Because burning is most certainly not recycling.

    Goverment can make it's own rules I guess...

    Recycled as fuel. Its not that bad energy-wise. We have power plants running off that stuff.

      Some people consider it a better use of oil than burning it directly.
