Only a small minority of European Union countries are on track to meet the bloc's recycling goals for municipal waste, including reuse and recycling for packaging waste such as plastics, metals and paper, according to a report published on Wednesday by the European Court of Auditors (ECA).
Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Slovenia are leading the recycling race, all poised to reach the 55% reduction target for municipal waste and the 65% target for packaging waste by 2025, as set out in EU law.
