In 2023, Switzerland led Europe in waste management efficiency with a turnover of 407.9 thousand euros per employee, followed closely by Belgium and Norway. Top-performing nations exhibited strong waste management systems, likely driven by innovative practices and robust recycling frameworks. Meanwhile, Eastern European countries such as Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina reflected the lowest turnover per employee, possibly indicating opportunities for growth and investment in waste management infrastructure.
Looking forward, European countries are expected to focus on sustainable practices, digitalization, and circular economy principles to enhance efficiency further. Environmental regulations and consumer behavior shifts towards sustainability will likely incentivize improvements and investment in innovative waste management technologies across the continent.
