WHY we need to prevent waste<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

this is the size of the problem:<\/span><\/h4><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div>

The EU generates
\nalmost 5 tonnes<\/strong> of waste
\nper person per year (2022)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

The EU extracts 14.8 tonnes
\n<\/strong>of material from nature
\nper person per year (2022)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

The average EU resident generates
\n517 kg <\/strong>of municipal waste
\nper year (2024)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Only 11.8%<\/strong> of the materials
\nused in EU come
\nfrom recycled materials<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
