What is the recycling rate for plastic waste in Europe?

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the recycling rate for plastic packaging waste in Europe was around 42% in 2018, according to the European Environment Agency. However, the recycling rate can vary significantly between different countries and types of plastic.

It’s important to note that the recycling rate can also depend on how it’s measured. For example, some measurements might consider plastic to be recycled if it’s collected for recycling, even if it’s not ultimately processed into new products. Other measurements might only consider plastic to be recycled if it’s actually turned into new products.

For the most current and accurate data, I recommend checking the latest reports or statistics from reliable sources such as the European Environment Agency or Eurostat.
