The statistic displays the results of a survey question concerning waste separation among young people in the Netherlands in 2018, by type. As part of the survey, participants were asked how much of their waste they separate. The survey results indicated that respondents are more likely to separate paper and cardboard than garden waste or plastics. Over 80 percent of paper and cardboard was separated, whereas just 56 percent of organic and garden waste was separated by young people with their own households in the Netherlands in 2018.
* This group includes students living in shared households, but excludes 25-35 year olds living with their parents/guardians.
The results have been weighted to represent the entire population 25-35 with their own household.
This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Hoeveel procent van onderstaande typen afval scheid je?" (English: How much of your waste do you separate?)
