New thematic ETF from WisdomTree on Xetra: climate-friendly waste and recycling management

With the WisdomTree Recycling Decarbonisation UCITS ETF - USD Acc, investors can invest in companies that are active in the field of recycling and waste management. The selected companies must generate at least 20 per cent of their turnover from technologies used in recycling and waste management or make investments in this area of at least the same amount.

The focus is on energy generation from waste such as rubbish or agricultural products and thus on the production of renewable natural gas, diesel or ethanol. Also considered is the recycling of plastic waste and lithium-ion batteries, as well as carbon sequestration.

Companies that do not meet the Global Standards Screening (GSS) or are involved in controversial activities in the fields of weapons, tobacco or thermal coal are not considered.

The product offering in Deutsche Börse's XTF segment currently comprises a total of 1,846 ETFs. With this selection and an average monthly trading volume of around €19 billion, Xetra is the leading trading venue for ETFs in Europe.
