European Waste for Final Treatment and Disposal Exports by Country

The 2023 data on European Waste for Final Treatment and Disposal Exports by country indicate significant variances per capita. Norway leads, with Denmark and Latvia following, exhibiting a downward trend. Noteworthy growth includes the Netherlands and Finland, increasing by 16.63% and 14.87%, respectively. Slovenia shows the highest growth at 85.56%, while Sweden and Germany show declines. Most countries, including Austria, Greece, Belgium, and others, report zero or negative changes. Over a five-year period, these trends indicate growing efficiencies or policy shifts in waste management across Europe.
