Austria leads global municipal waste composting, closely followed by the Netherlands and Italy. Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Belgium also showcase significant composting efforts. Nordic countries such as Denmark and Finland fall within the middle range, while Eastern European nations like Poland and the Czech Republic demonstrate lower composting rates. Western European countries like France and Spain contribute steadily, though less so than leading nations. Contrarily, Japan, Belarus, Chile, and Ukraine sit at the bottom tier, indicating minimal composting activities.
Emerging trends to watch in municipal waste composting include increased policies and investments driving higher composting rates in low-performing countries. Attention to sustainability may propel initiatives, leading to a potential rise in overall global figures by 2030.
