Published
According to Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, Hungary is among the EU member states that produce the least waste. The news appeared on the website of Trade magazine, a professional commercial publication, and is based on official European Union data.
Eurostat regularly collects data on waste generation across the entire Union. These data help compare individual countries and show how the volume of waste changes over time. The comparison also takes into account the amount of waste produced per inhabitant, which is an important consideration, because population size can differ considerably between countries.
Waste statistics are important not only from the perspective of environmental protection. The data also show how much raw material and energy is used in production and consumption. The EU's goals include reducing waste and increasing recycling, so the results of member states are monitored continuously.
Overall, according to the latest EU data, Hungary is in a good position among the Union's countries in terms of waste generation. Detailed figures and an exact comparison can be found in Eurostat's official publications, which are available to researchers, policymakers and the general public alike.
