Britian on top - a European Commission report has recently credited the UK for it's successes at reducing waste to landfill since 2002. According to the article by www.recyclingwasteworld.co.uk, between 2002 and 2009 the amount of waste going to landfill has reduced by 464kg per capita to 259kg, through several ways including reuse and effective recycling.
According to the report, despite the progress made in the UK, many other European countries such as Belgium, Germany and Sweden sent less than 3% of waste to landfill in 2010, while the UK remained at around 48%.
