Teutonic Efficiency

Interesting comparison between the German and the UK approach to waste management. The Germans produce much less greenhouse gases despite have similar levels of municipal solid waste. The reason is that they have a far higher rate of recycling, and almost no landfill. As a result, their emissions from MSW are a fifth the level of ours.

Surely there can't be any reason that whatever technologies or methods they are using can't also be used in the UK.
