# EoL-RR – functional recycling in the EU, EU-27 (tin) – EU27, 2024

**25 %**

- Fact ID: `PSNUE-W-EOL-RR`
- Label (PL): EoL-RR – recykling funkcjonalny w UE, UE-27 (cyna)
- Value (machine): 25
- Standard deviation: 3.9
- 90% interval (5th–95th percentile of Monte Carlo draws): 19 to 32
- Unit: %
- Period: 2024
- Area: EU27
- Metal: sn
- Verification: reconciled
- Note: Indicator from the reconciled 2024 balance; 90% interval (5th and 95th percentiles of 20,000 accepted Monte Carlo draws, each draw reconciled separately): from 19.0 to 32.0%; standard deviation of these draws 3.9 percentage points. Definition: tin from end-of-life products returned to functional recycling in the EU relative to the end-of-life volume (excluding tin in steel). It depends on the interpretation of the refinery feed gap and on class C estimates: 21.7–29.3% in the balance variants, 34.1% with the gap treated as old scrap, 30.8% on the UNEP basis (including scrap exported for recycling).
