Material resources and waste — SOER 2010 thematic assessment: The European economy needs huge amounts of resources to function.

Demand for materials is so intense that between 20 and 30 % of the resources we use are now imported. At the other end of the materials chain, the EU economy generates around six tons of waste per person every year.
