The channel that has increased the most has been selective collections outside the home (offices, events such as concerts, festivals, etc.), with an increase of over 50%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of tonnes of aluminium containers placed on the market in 2021 was 134,871, a 9% increase compared to the previous year, when it was 123,449 tonnes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Including other recoveries in the aluminium packaging recovery data gives a total recovery rate of aluminium packaging of 57.6%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/doue\/2018\/150\/L00141-00154.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Directive 2018\/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council<\/a>&nbsp;establishes that 50% of aluminium packaging should be recycled by 2025 and 60% by 2030. Thanks to the efforts of citizens, who deposit more and more aluminium packaging in the yellow container every day, and to the optimisation of sorting plants, it has already been possible to achieve the target set for 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aluminio.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARPAL<\/a>&nbsp;carries out an annual study to determine the tonnes of aluminium packaging recovered at waste management plants, which in 2021 amounted to 5,868 tonnes.
