Eurostat – Statistics Explained: Resource productivity statistics, 29 Οκτωβρίου.
This article presents recent statistics on resource productivity in the European Union (EU) and its Member States. The EU’s resource productivity has increased by 31.5 % in the 2000–13 timeframe. Whereas resource productivity has slowly increased over the years between 2000 and 2007, the sharp increase between 2008 and 2010 was, to a large extent, caused by a decline in various resource-intensive industries during the economic crisis.
Data on resource productivity are collected in the framework of material flow accounts, for which a more detailed article is available here.
