Recyclable waste at 37% and organic waste at 46% shows that a large share of the residual stream still contains recoverable value. The composition matters because each fraction needs a different intervention.

In waste-collection scenarios, organic waste points to prevention, composting or digestion, while recyclable materials need cleaner separation and better routing. The figures help move the discussion from general waste reduction to targeted action: which stream is largest, which has the highest value and which system change is needed first.
