European Environment Agency https://www.eea.europa.eu The European Environment Agency (EEA) is an agency of the European Union. Our task is to provide sound, independent information on the environment. We are a major information source for those involved in developing, adopting, implementing and evaluating environmental policy, and also the general public. Where does marine litter come from? https://www.eea.europa.eu/media/infographics/where-does-marine-litter-come-from 2023-01-19T12:22:10Z Infographic Nearly 40 percent of plastic demand comes from the production of plastic packaging https://www.eea.europa.eu/media/infographics/nearly-40-percent-of-plastic The figure shows estimated Market Demand in 2021 for the EU-27 plus United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Norwey in percentages. The above data are rounded estimations. Demand data are built on estimations of quantities bought by European converters, including imports. Demand for recycled plastics and bio-based/bio-attributed plastics is not included. Polymers that are not used in the conversion of plastic parts and products (i.e. for textiles, adhesives, sealants, coatings, etc.) are not included. 2023-02-09T10:39:13Z Infographic Total amounts of generated PPSI (plastic packaging and small non-packaging plastic items) waste (million tonnes) that is managed (light orange) and mismanaged (dark orange) in overall EEA-32 countries and United Kingdom, in 2012 and 2018 https://www.eea.europa.eu/media/infographics/total-amounts-of-generated-ppsi See report Marine Litter in Europe-An integrated assessment from source to sea (https://forum.eionet.europa.eu/etc-icm-consortium/library/subvention-2022/tasks-and-milestones-2022/1.1.8.1-marine-litter-assessment/milestone-2-addressing-comments-eea-and-finalization-assessment-report/final-version-november-2022-eea-approval/etc-icm_marine-litter-assessment_master_v5.2_06112022_for-eea-approval) 2023-01-19T08:49:44Z Infographic Europe currently demands around 20 million tonnes of plastic for packaging https://www.eea.europa.eu/media/infographics/europe-currently-demands-around-20 The figure shows the change in plastics demand for packaging in Europe. 2023-01-19T08:49:53Z Infographic What are some of the ways everyone can save energy https://www.eea.europa.eu/signals-archived/signals-2022/infographics/what-are-some-of-the 2023-08-29T08:47:28Z Infographic What are the sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU? https://www.eea.europa.eu/signals-archived/signals-2022/infographics/what-are-the-sources-of 2023-08-29T08:47:26Z Infographic What are the EU’s climate targets for 2030? https://www.eea.europa.eu/signals-archived/signals-2022/infographics/what-are-the-eu2019s-climate 2023-08-29T08:47:26Z Infographic EU energy mix https://www.eea.europa.eu/signals-archived/signals-2022/infographics/eu-energy-mix 2023-08-29T08:47:26Z Infographic What are the emission costs of different modes of transport? https://www.eea.europa.eu/signals-archived/signals-2022/infographics/what-are-the-emission-costs 2023-08-29T08:47:27Z Infographic Greenhouse gas emissions from transport in the EU https://www.eea.europa.eu/signals-archived/signals-2022/infographics/greenhouse-gas-emissions-from-transport 2023-08-29T08:47:26Z Infographic Electricity from renewable sources https://www.eea.europa.eu/signals-archived/signals-2022/infographics/electricity-from-renewable-sources 2023-08-29T08:47:28Z Infographic Schematic illustration for calculating the value of meff, measuring landscape fragmentation https://www.eea.europa.eu/media/infographics/landscape-fragmentation 2022-08-18T12:12:12Z Infographic Europe's natura 2000 sites https://www.eea.europa.eu/signals-archived/signals-2021/infographics/europes-natura-2000-sites 2023-08-29T08:47:32Z Infographic State of nature in Europe: Habitats https://www.eea.europa.eu/signals-archived/signals-2021/infographics/state-of-nature-in-europe-habitats 2023-08-29T08:47:32Z Infographic Conservation status and short-term trends in bird populations https://www.eea.europa.eu/signals-archived/signals-2021/infographics/conservation-status-and-short-term 2023-08-29T08:47:32Z Infographic What are ecosystem services? https://www.eea.europa.eu/signals-archived/signals-2021/infographics/what-are-ecosystem-services Nature provides us with many valuable services. Some of these services are relatively easy to quantify, such as crops, fisheries and timber; other services, less so.
