Sweden recycles and reuses waste so efficiently that it literally runs out of trash to process. With less than 1% of household waste ending up in landfills, the country powers homes by converting garbage into heat and electricity.
To keep its high-tech waste-to-energy plants operational, Sweden imports over 1.3 million tons of trash annually from countries like the UK, Norway, and Ireland—and gets paid for it! It's a rare example of a circular economy done right, turning the global trash crisis into an energy opportunity.
