From Waste to Resources - MBT Technology Through The Ages

In 2012, 493 kg of municipal waste were produced per person in Europe. Denmark, with 668 kg of municipal waste per person, produced the highest per-capita amount of waste, followed by Cyprus, Luxembourg and Germany with each generating more than 600 kg per person. An enormous amount of goods used in everyday life is produced from plastic: bottles, shopping bags, disposable tableware, pipes, discs, textile fibres, furnishings, and many
more.

Until the 70s household waste was generally not treated or salvaged, but predominantly landfilled. However, in urban areas in particular this approach soon proved to be problematic. In addition, a change of attitude started to emerge with the beginnings of the green movement in the 1970s/80s. As a result, the problem of waste disposal has been recognised as a major factor of environmental Pollution.
