About This Statistic

Material footprint; fixed slice freq: Annual [A]; indic_env: Raw material consumption [RMC]; material: Total [TOTAL]; unit: Tonnes per capita [T_HAB]

MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2025 Eurostat slice recorded below. Aggregates, missing values, non-ISO geographies, conflicting duplicate observations, and every other year or dimension slice are excluded; MapTheory never imputes or interpolates missing countries.
