Sweden dumps only 1% of trash in landfills.
Sweden has realized the importance of recycling and responsible waste management. It recycles 47% of its trash and converts 52% into energy. This way, it generates enough energy to heat one million homes, and it provides electricity for 250,000 homes.
To get everyone involved, Sweden gives discount vouchers to citizens who use recycling machines. Also, there’s a recycling center within 1,000 feet of every residential area. Plus, they provide kids with facts about recycling from an early age.
