The percentage of waste that came from the construction industry in 2020 was extremely different between European countries. While 76 percent of waste originated in the construction sector in Austria, that share decreased to 1.6 percent in Bulgaria. In France, Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark over half of waste came from construction. Between 2012 and 2020, the share of waste generated by the construction industry has grown significantly.
