According to the Federal Environment Agency, the total volume of waste in Austria in 2019 was around 71,26 million tons. In addition to excavated material with 59%, construction and demolition waste account for the largest share with 16,1%. The amount of waste from construction has increased by 2015% since 15.
A report by the Federal Environment Agency states: “The share of municipal waste from households and similar facilities was around 4,5 million tons. This corresponds to a per capita volume of approx. 507 kg. This corresponds to a moderate increase of around 2018% compared to 2. More than half of the municipal waste was recycled. "
The figures for the Corona year 2020 will not be published until next year. However, the Federal Environment Agency is expecting certain shifts: "While a decrease in the amount of waste from industry, production and tourism is to be expected, it is expected that the amount of waste from households will be higher."
