- Just think of a country that buys garbage from other countries, and its residents feel comfortable wearing second-hand clothes and taking bottles to recycling centers. Pretty weird, isn't it? Well, if you've already imagined a Godforsaken third-world state, then you're wrong. We're talking about Sweden, one of the richest countries in Europe, which has become the absolute record holder in recycling. So today you'll find out how Sweden turns trash into gold.
One percent. That is how much trash ends up in Swedish landfills. According to the Swedish waste management association Avfall Sverige, Sweden now recycles more than 99 percent of household waste. The recycling system works so well that Sweden serves as an example for almost all developed countries concerned about environmental issues. Why does this system work?

Do you recycle your waste? How do you feel about recycling in general?
Iv started recycling, especially metals, it makes no sense to dig it up, refine, forge, and distribute it, just to burry it back into the ground.
We have buried so much metal that some companies have actually stared mining landfills.
Am I the only one thinking it would be better to just salvage the metal in the first place? It’s not that hard
Thanks for your good lectures about the waste management of Sweden. That's good efforts to protect the natural resources from the impact pollution of the waste and also well experience. But we must do the other countries impact be considered
The fact that they realized this in 1970 is awesome!!! Things could be SOOOOOO much better if every other country followed this example.
BEST CONCEPT OF GENERATING ELECTRICITY THROUGH WASTE.
Only all the things that make the best fuel for incinerators, are better recycled into new goods, like cardboard, and plastic.
@@logans3365only a small fraction of that waste can actually be recycled
As a swede i see this as a bit exaggerated... and not 100% correct.
But the big picture is correct.
it's an AI generated script, notice how incoherent the speech is
Any percent is better than USA!
Excellent to see this ; way to go ; other countries must adopt the good things from sweden
Thank you for the comment! Yes, it's amazing how one country uses trash to generate energy while another uses it to harm the ecology.
Recycling is just common sense, unfortunately the average human lacks the foresight required to see the consequences their actions Inflict upon the future.
It’s crazy how much backlash I get when recommending simple actions that have big impacts if everyone does them, such as collecting your aluminum cans, or using reusable plates instead of paper. People act like I’m telling them to go live in caves, hunting and gathering.
We simply forget our economy needs to be circular. Without circulation, society collapse.
I try recycling as much as I can with paper, plastic, etc
This is why you have closed loop system that work on gas like c02 besides regular steam turbin
Bless you the Sweden
What about the waste from the industry that Sweden specialises in the most?
WEAPONS.
I'm sure they are recycled as well. Don't demonize weapons as they are simply a tool to ensure safety and yes can be used by evil but also keep evil at bay.
Now thats a place I wanna live in!
Wow, I did'nt know there was any country that mastered circular economy like this!
It’s certainly not mastered, but it is one of the closest, 50% gets burned which is a dead end, not a circle.
This was probably a long time ago
Excellent
Porquê isso não acontece no planeta inteiro?????😢
Profitable business
Sweden allways the best 🏁🏁🏁
Sweden rock
Great
Such a narrow minded view of the waste problem is just unbelievable. How much do sweeds pay for a waste collection, sorting and recycling? €400-500/metric ton?
Nike shoes has a NIKE sneaker processing center that turns old into New sneaker s! Talk about that! Do you have one in Europe? What is Europe doing about the dead White Man clothes in Ghana? 🙏😉💕💋✌️👏

Yet another AI-voiced RUclips channel... I'm beginning to truly believe in the 'Dead Internet Theory'.
I assure you that we don’t use AI voice overs. We write scripts and voice over them by real people.
So they do not recycle they burn
Making a video don't make it so.
