Austria has been declared the European champion in terms of recovered paper collection and recycling. According to the European Commission's latest Eurobarometer survey, no less than 99% of the country's respondents claimed to regularly separate paper from other waste for recycling.

EU citizens average a 90% commitment to paper recycling, although Romania offers a notable exception as only 50% of the country’s consumers taking part in the survey claimed to separate paper at source for the benefit of recycling.
