Sweden Imports Trash from Norway for Heat and Electricity
October 25, 2012, www.nydailynews.com | “Sweden is apparently way too good at recycling. In a country where only 4 percent of waste goes to landfills, officials have had to start importing trash so they can keep making heat and electricity. The Scandinavian country runs a wildly successful waste-to-energy program, generating 20 percent of the nation’s district heating and generating electricity for a quarter-million homes.”
