EEA indicator update: EU's material footprint stood at 14.3 tonnes/capita in 2025, down by 3.4% since 2010, including a recent dip of 8.4% from 2022 to 2023. The level of material footprint in the EU is considered unsustainable and above the global average. Based on historical trends and projections for future material use, it appears unlikely that the EU will significantly reduce its material footprint in the next decade. #sustainability #circulareconomyeea.europa.eu/en/analysis/indi
