Your Waste - and what happens to it - has an impact on climate change.
Solutions are: waste prevention, high quality material recycling and smart thermal treatment (for example in 
Waste to Energy Plants) of the remaining non-recyclable mixed waste. No waste should go directly to a landfill.
Austria demonstrates long-term best practise examples in the waste management sector for years, however 
worldwide, high amounts of waste directly go to landfills untreated. This causes about 10 % of the global 
greenhouse gas emissions.
Therefore, it is crucial to collaborate - nationwide and across boundaries - to develop an optimised and 
climate-friendly waste management.
