The current sociopolitical and legislative landscape is increasingly aligned with addressing the challenges of waste management. However, beyond its ecological importance, it is crucial that solutions in this area are also economically viable. Profitability not only ensures the financial sustainability of initiatives but also drives investment and innovation in the sector.
Profitability and Sustainability: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Investing in waste recycling and recovery technologies not only responds to an environmental need but also represents a significant economic opportunity.
To achieve the 2030 targets, an investment of between €3,400 and €4,900 million is required*.
For example, energy recovery from waste annually generates revenues of €273 million and a gross added value of €90 million, in addition to directly employing over a thousand workers in Spain*
Furthermore, an estimated saving of 26.3 euros is achieved for every MWh of electrical energy produced from waste, contributing to more competitive electricity prices*
Energy Recovery: An Efficient Solution
“…it is essential to demystify the belief that energy recovery and recycling are opposing strategies. …, the countries that recycle the most are also those that recover the most energy from non-recyclable waste, demonstrating that both practices are complementary and essential for efficient and sustainable management…”
–Joaquín Pérez Viota, President of AEVERSU
In Spain, only 11% of waste is currently recovered for energy, while in countries like Germany or Denmark, this percentage exceeds 30%*
Implementing more energy recovery plants would not only contribute to achieving European landfill reduction targets but would also generate enough energy to supply millions of homes, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and improving the country’s energy security.
