Most of the mineral construction waste in Germany in 2020 came from soil and stones. That was also the type of waste with the lowest recycling rate. Meanwhile, 56.7 million metric tons out of a total of 60 million metric tons of building debris was recycled. The volume of construction waste as a share of all waste generated in Germany amounted to 56 approximately percent. That rate was above the average for the EU-27, but slightly lower than in countries such as France and the Netherlands.
