The waste was landfilled at 9 non-hazardous waste landfills.
The share of landfilled municipal waste at the EU level in 2022 was 23% of generated municipal waste. The countries in which more than half of generated municipal waste was landfilled include Malta, Romania, Cyprus, Croatia, Hungary, Portugal and Bulgaria.
