Trash is lucrative, but it\u2019s also rather hazardous. The collection, selection and treatment of garbage especially communal waste and hazardous materials are matters of life or death, and potentially <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/eurostat\/statistics-explained\/index.php?title=Glossary:EU_enlargements\">responsible for massive pollution<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In 2022, the total waste generated in the EU by all economic activities and households amounted to 2233 million tonnes or 4999 \u00a0kg per capita.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Of all this, 9 per cent was created by households and 38 per cent by construction.<\/p>\n<p>Albeit the European Union is steadfast in regulating its way through such problems, it still shies away from firmer handling of industrial waste, which constitutes the vast majority of the problem materials. And the enforcement of these rules is left to the member states, who often avoid or abuse these duties.<\/p>\n<p>They often chose to simply export the problem: member states of the European Union sent over than 20 times more plastic waste to Turkey in 2020 than 2016.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/eurostat\/web\/products-eurostat-news\/-\/ddn-20220525-1\">According to Eurostat<\/a> in 2021, iron and steel exports amounted to 19.5 million tonnes, accounting for more than half (59%) of all waste exports from the EU. The main destination was T\u00fcrkiye which received 13.1 million tonnes, 67 per cent of all ferrous metal waste exported from the EU.<\/p>\n<p>To talk pan-European trash, 3 guests are joining today\u2019s episode at <a href=\"https:\/\/gleis21.wien\/kaffeesatz\/\">Kaffesatz bei Gleis 21.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Guests<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Pablo Sanchez Centellas <\/strong>is a representative of EPSU the European Public Service Union based in Brussels.
