Per capita municipal waste generated in the EU 2010-2022
Municipal waste generation in the European Union (EU-27) amounted to an estimated 513 kilograms per capita in 2022, the first annual reduction recorded in eight years. Nevertheless, this value remains slightly above pre-pandemic levels. Amongst EU member states, per capita municipal waste generation is the highest in Austria and Denmark.
