The report shows that in 2007, recovery of plastics in the 27 EU Member States plus Norway and Switzerland reached 50% - up 1% on 2006 – mainly due to a strong growth in recycling. It also found that nine countries recovered more than 80% of their used plastics and are near to realising their diversion from landfill vision.
