Living in Harmony with the Environment
Ranked 5th on the Global Environmental Performance Index, Sweden epitomizes eco-friendliness. The country keeps carbon dioxide emissions low and maximizes the potential of renewable energy sources. The numbers speak volumes: a mere 1% of waste finds its way to landfills, 47% undergoes recycling, and a substantial 52% fuels energy generation.
Sweden's mastery in transforming refuse into valuable energy is so profound that the nation even imports waste from other countries. Pioneering social and environmental sustainability, Sweden became a trailblazer by passing the world's first environmental law in 1967. A proactive advocate for climate change, Sweden's actions set a benchmark for other nations to follow.
