Opportunities and drivers

- After a drop from 2019 to 2020, increasing values for material recovery.
- Energy recovery mostly increases around 9-10% except for 2022 when it dropped.
- The disappearance of the “unknown” category after 2021 is primarily due to improvements in data collection and reporting methodology, which allowed previously unclassified ELT quantities to be allocated to specific categories rather than remaining unidentified.
Major changes in legislation/policy since 2016
