"100 billion tons!
This is the amount of #materials entering the global #economy per year (2019 figure).
This includes #mineral #resources, #fossilfuels, #metals and #biomass. All the elements used to fuel our economic system. In terms of #world population this corresponds to about 12t per capita. Only 8.4 billion tons is #recycled and re-injected into the economy. Very far from a #circular economy...
These figures and many others are presented in the #circularity Gap report of 2020."
