Bern, 21.11.2023 – Less and less waste is ending up in garbage bags in Switzerland. Nevertheless, over 20% of waste consists of materials that could actually be recycled. In addition, more than half of the food waste that is thrown away could be avoided. This is shown in the new study “Survey of waste composition 2022” by the Federal Office for the Environment FOEN.
