To produce and handle all clothing, footwear and household textiles purchased by EU-27 households in 2020, an estimated 175 million tonnes of primary raw materials was used (391 kg per person), making this consumption domain the fifth highest impact category. Only 20% of primary material consumption takes place within Europe, which is the lowest ratio of all consumption domains, and shows that environmental impacts are exported to other parts of the world.
