Sustainable models of production and consumption contribute to the prevention of waste generation, for which several legislative measures have been adopted. To monitor their implementation, data on various products placed on the market (e.g. plastic carrier bags) and data on waste (e.g. food waste) are collected.

The proportion of WEEE disposed of within mixed municipal waste is decreasing, while the proportion of WBA disposed of within mixed municipal waste is very low and does not change significantly over the years. On the other hand, the amount of separately collected WEEE is increasing. Almost 15,500 tons of WEEE were collected separately in Slovenia in 2022, which is 7% more than in 2019.

In Slovenia, the majority of energy consumption in agriculture is gas oil used as a propellant for agricultural machinery (59.0%), followed by energy for the production of mineral nitrogen fertilizers (34.7%) and electric energy (3.7%). Gas oil consumption has not changed significantly in the last ten years. Electricity consumption for storage is mainly influenced by the amount of fruit. In terms of direct energy consumption in 2022, the Netherlands stands out, mainly due to the large share of greenhouses, followed by Belgium.

The indicator mainly shows the unidentifiable direction of development. The majority of data were available only for a limited period, and therefore, reliable estimation of trends is not possible. Cereals are the predominant group of crops in Slovenia. Areas for growing green fodder crops and industrial plants are increasing, while the production of root and tuber crops has stabilized on two percent of arable land. A slow diversification of crop types is noticeable, with a positive trend in the share of legumes, although this share has stabilized at around 15% in recent years.

In Slovenia, the intensity of agricultural production increased moderately in the period 2000–2023. The main reasons for this are the continuous decrease of the number of agricultural holdings and the relatively stable volume of agricultural production. The concentration took place primarily in the direction of improving the labour intensity of agricultural production or reducing the labour input per unit of area or product. In the period 2000-2020 the stocking density per hectare of utilized agricultural area is slightly decreased.
