Selective waste collection<\/strong> in 2021 in the county of Maresme<\/strong> increased by 1.07%<\/strong> compared to the data for 2020. Specifically, 48.35%<\/strong> of waste was collected selectively, i.e. 117,035 tonnes<\/strong>, a figure that is above the Catalan average<\/strong> of 46.63%<\/strong> of selective collection.<\/p>\n According to statistics from the Catalan Waste Agency<\/strong>, nineteen of the twenty-eight municipalities in the consortium exceeded 50%<\/strong> of selective collection in 2021.\u00a0 Argentona<\/strong>\u2019s results particularly stand out, with 88.64%<\/strong> of selective collection, followed by 81.79%<\/strong> in Arenys de Munt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Four municipalities exceeded 60% and are close to 70% selective collection: Sant Pol de Mar<\/strong> (67.47%), Canet de Mar<\/strong> (64.85%), Cabrera de Mar<\/strong> (63.28%) and Tei\u00e0<\/strong> (62.77%). Thirteen other municipalities also exceeded 50% selective collection in 2021: Sant Vicen\u00e7 de Montalt<\/strong> (59.18%), Sant Andreu de Llavaneres <\/strong>(58.56%), Alella<\/strong> (56.46%), Dosrius<\/strong> (55, 94%), Sant Cebri\u00e0 de Vallalta<\/strong> (55.65%), Arenys de Mar<\/strong> (54, 61%), Tordera<\/strong> (54.20%), \u00d2rrius<\/strong> (53.02%), Premi\u00e0 de Dalt<\/strong> (52.63%), Malgrat de Mar<\/strong> (52.02%), Vilassar de Mar<\/strong> (50.60%), Vilassar de Dalt<\/strong> (50.19%) and Cabrils<\/strong> (50.07%).<\/p>\n Only three municipalities in the Maresme are below 40%: Sant Iscle de Vallalta<\/strong> (39.38%), Matar\u00f3<\/strong> (34.87%) and Santa Susanna<\/strong> (25.42%).<\/p>\n As for the generation of municipal waste in <\/strong>the Maresme<\/strong>, the figures for 2021 remain practically identical to those for 2020, with a minimal reduction of 0.23%<\/strong>. In Catalonia, on the other hand, waste generation has increased by 1.35%<\/strong>, reaching pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n In summary, the figures for 2021 reveal major advances in selective collection in the region<\/strong>. Actions decided at municipal level, such as door-to-door collection, together with the recovery obtained from the residual fraction, allow us to reach values close to 45% of real recycling<\/strong> from the municipal waste generated in the Maresme. A figure which, although still insufficient, brings us closer to the European objectives of reaching 55% recycling by 2025.<\/p>\n Complete statistics at http:\/\/estadistiques.arc.cat\/ARC\/<\/p>\n
