Danish composting stats

"A very large – and increasing – amount of Danish garden and park waste is collected and composted. In contrast, it is still less than a tenth of the organic household waste that is recovered as compost or biogas. A study to determine how much of the organic waste was recovered in 2001 shows that a total of 3.7 million tonnes of organic waste from households, institutions and enterprises was processed and returned to the earth as nutrients. In addition, a constant, large amount of food waste from catering kitchens was collected and processed into 20,000 tonnes of animal feed. Moreover, more households than previously believed composted part of their food waste themselves – although to a lesser extent than expected."
