Opportunities and drivers
The amount of material recovery increased between 2019 and 2023, while comparatively less ELT have been treated in energy recovery facilities. The producer responsibility organization’s commitment is the reason for the shift from energy recovery to material recovery despite increasing energy prices. Another reason is the increasing capacity of the recyclers.
