In Sweden, where I livr, 78.5% of paper packaging put into the market was recycled for materials (as opposed to recycled for energy a.k.a burning it in a power plant)
Comment on Are Tetra Paks actually recyclable?
br3d@lemmy.world 2 months ago“can be” is doing some heavy lifting here. I confidently predicted amount actually recycled is a fraction of one percent

Making matters worse is that half the statistics that would show the abysmal rate count “thermally recycled” (=burning it) towards the same metric and are thus pretty meaningless.
