In Slovenia, the share of landfilled municipal waste in 2022, based on all generated municipal waste, was 8.8% or slightly more than 90,000 tonnes. Thus the goal of reducing the amount of municipal waste landfilled to 10% or less by weight of all generated municipal waste by 2035 has already been achieved. 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.
