Sweden Is Not Recycling 99% of Its Waste

In a recent article from Lloyd Alter in Treehugger.com, he notes that Sweden may be sending amount of waste to their landfills, but the fact is “they incinerate about 50 percent of their waste to make heat and energy. And even in their own website, they admit that is not the best approach, that it is not really recycling, and that it takes less energy to actually recycle and reuse than it does to burn and manufacture a replacement from scratch.”
