ELT treatment
- Material recovery has been the predominant treatment method for ELTs, reaching up to a 100% share in 2021 and 2023, though its proportion varies over time and demonstrates a clear dependence on the volume of ELTs arising.
- Energy recovery was carried out to a limited extent in 2019 and 2020.
- In 2023, the quantity of ELT subjected to material recovery exceeded the total volume of ELT generated within the same year.
