Report More from less – material resource efficiency in Europe

Many European countries are realising the economic benefits of making more efficient use of material resources. But more action is needed to underpin this trend in resource efficiency with stronger policies on energy, material resources, waste management and on circular economy. These are the findings from a new European Environment Agency (EEA) assessment.
The EEA report ‘More from less – material resource efficiency in Europe’, takes an in-depth look at national approaches and policies on resource efficiency and explores similarities and differences in related policies, strategies and targets. Packaging is one of the subjects covered (News Item EEA, 9 June 2016).
