[OD18] Resource productivity
Pressures

Key message
Neutral

Due to lower construction activity, material productivity in Slovenia increased faster than the EU average in the period 2007-2012. In 2018 it amounted to 1.86 PPS / kg, but the target of 3.5 PPS / kg by 2030, with the revival of  construction activity, will be difficult to achieve. Therefore, much more attention needs to be paid to measures for the transition to a circular economy.

 

Resource productivity is an indicator expressing the ratio between gross domestic product (GDP) and domestic material consumption (DMC) in relation to weight. It is one of the most important indicators measuring the efficiency of resource use.

Goals

  • To increase resource productivity, to decouple economic growth from resource use, to increase competitiveness and supply reliability;
  • To increase resource productivity on 3,5 PPS/kg until 2030;
  • To improve the functioning of the economy while reducing pressures on the environment.
