With the boom in international trade, EU consumption and production damage ecosystems and human health far beyond Europe’s borders, according to a report published by the European Environment Agency (EEA).

Recycling already meets substantial proportions of demand for some resource groups, notably paper and cardboard, and iron and steel.
