46% of Maresme’s municipal waste<\/strong> was collected separately<\/strong> in 2022. In absolute figures we are talking about 105,477 tonnes<\/strong>, which represents 0.38%<\/strong> more<\/strong> than in 2021; a timid increase that shows a stabilization of the selective collection rate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “The large municipalities are those that today still have the greatest room for improvement<\/strong>,” explains the director of Maresme Circular, Carles Salesa<\/strong>, who says: “We must move forward in the implementation of more efficient collection systems<\/strong> such as door-to-door<\/strong> or smart containers<\/strong> if we want to reach the 55%<\/strong> recycling rate set by the European Union by 2025<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n In fact, the two municipalities in the county with the best selective collection results and which exceed 70%<\/strong> have implemented the door-to-door collection system: Argentona<\/strong> (86.59%) and Arenys de Munt<\/strong> (78.54%).<\/p>\n This year there is a novelty in the data accounting, which is that domestic<\/strong> debris<\/strong> has not been included, following the regulations of the European Union. If it had been included, as it used to be, the selective collection ratio would have increased to 48.58%<\/strong>. Debris, therefore, regardless of its origin, is now counted exclusively on the construction and demolition waste balance sheet.<\/p>\n Of the four main fractions of selective collection, organic, glass and packaging have increased slightly compared to the previous year. The fraction with the greatest increase is packaging<\/strong> (2.7%), followed by organic<\/strong> (2.09%) and glass<\/strong> (1.43%). Paper<\/strong>, on the other hand, decreased by 1.42%.<\/p>\n According to the statistics of the Catalan<\/strong> Waste Agency<\/strong>, seventeen of the twenty-eight municipalities in the consortium exceeded 50% of selective collection <\/strong>in 2022. Apart from the two towns mentioned, we find: Cabrera de Mar<\/strong> (66.37%), Canet de Mar<\/strong> (62.70%), Tei\u00e0<\/strong> (62.59%), Sant Pol de Mar<\/strong> (58.89%), Sant Andreu de Llavaneres<\/strong> (58.77%), Sant Vicen\u00e7 de Montalt<\/strong> (57.69%), Alella<\/strong> (55.54%), Arenys de Mar<\/strong> (52.96%), Dosrius<\/strong> (52.85%), Vilassar de Mar<\/strong> (52.79%), Premi\u00e0 de Dalt<\/strong> (52.14%), Tordera<\/strong> (51.78%), Vilassar de Dalt<\/strong> (51.20%), \u00d2rrius<\/strong> (50.55%) and Cabrils<\/strong> (50.39%).<\/p>\n Next, six municipalities exceeded 40% in selective collection<\/strong>: Caldes d’Estrac<\/strong> (47.41%), Sant Cebri\u00e0 de Vallalta<\/strong> (46.95%), Palafolls<\/strong> (44.18%), Malgrat de Mar<\/strong> (43.74%), Calella<\/strong> (42.44%) and El Masnou<\/strong> (41.71%); followed by those municipalities that do not reach 40% and which this year, with the change in the data accounting have increased to five: Pineda de Mar<\/strong> (39.53%), Premi\u00e0 de Mar<\/strong> (39.34%), San Iscle de Vallalta<\/strong> (36.37%), Matar\u00f3<\/strong> (35.01%) and Santa Susanna<\/strong> (26.42%).<\/p>\n Regarding the generation of municipal waste in the Maresme, in 2022 the generation per capita has been placed at 1.42kg\/inhab\/day<\/strong>; 1.39%<\/strong> less<\/strong> compared to 2021.<\/p>\n The average for Catalonia as a whole is 1.35kg\/inhab\/day<\/strong>, while the average selective collection rate is 45.33%<\/strong>. The Maresme generates more waste and separates it slightly better than Catalonia as a whole.<\/p>\n Complete statistics at http:\/\/estadistiques.arc.cat\/ARC\/<\/p>\n Visualization by county of selective collection in Catalonia in 2022<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The municipalities that exceeded 70% selective collection (Argentona and Arenys de Munt) have implemented efficient systems such as door-to-door collection Seventeen of the twenty-eight municipalities in the consortium exceeded 50% selective collection in 2022 46% of Maresme’s municipal waste was collected separately in 2022.
