Project goal

The Project goal is to provide an inventory of the historically cumulated physical stock of materials in EU-27 (EU-25 plus Romania and Bulgaria), and to forecast the expected amounts of waste generated, per resource category, in the next 25 years. Further, to provide an assessment of the life-cycle-wide environmental impacts from different scenarios towards waste prevention, recycling and environmentally-friendly waste treatment in the EU-27.
