In 2024, Iceland leads the European countries in electrical and electronic tools waste recycled and prepared for reuse with 2.72 kg per capita. It is followed by Ireland (0.59), Luxembourg (0.5), and Denmark (0.5). Lower performances are seen in Greece (0.01), Cyprus (0.05), and Spain (0.06). Iceland's high recycling efforts saw a 5.92% increase from the previous year.
Notable year-on-year variations include significant increases in Lithuania (16.27%) and Poland (11.67%). On the other hand, Norway experienced a considerable decline at -19.95%. Over the past five years, average annual growth rates have shown mixed trends across Europe but generally indicate a movement towards improvement in recycling efforts.
Future trends to watch include the implementation of more stringent recycling regulations, increasing public awareness campaigns, and technological advancements in recycling processes. These factors are likely to drive higher recycling rates across Europe. Countries with currently low figures may see significant improvements in response to these evolving dynamics.
