Our progress - Waste
Anything that is unwanted or unused and subsequently discarded by the consumer can be considered waste. Every citizen in Europe produces an average of 1.69 kilograms of waste per day - that is around 620 kilograms per year. To put that into perspective, that’s approximately 1553 handheld computer games you are throwing away per year - five per day!
Consumers have a big role in the transition away from a linear economy. We must use products responsibly, applying the Three Rs Rule: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
