Sweden recycles so effectively that it has to import garbage to incinerate
Every country should be so lucky as to have Sweden’s problem: It doesn’t produce enough garbage.
As reported by Public Radio International,
Sweden has a remarkably effective recycling program. Only 4 percent of
the country’s waste ends up in landfills, with the other 96 percent
being reused in some way. There is one problem with that, however: The
country has incinerators that burn waste to create heat (a must-have in
the region) and electricity. And too little waste means not enough fuel
for those fires.
