| Short description: |
As defined by the OECD and Eurostat, eco-industries are “activities which produce goods and
services to measure, prevent, limit, minimize or correct environmental damage to water, air
and soil, as well as problems related to waste, noise and eco-systems. This includes
technologies, products and services that reduce environmental risk and minimize pollution
and resources”. The sectors fall into two general categories, pollution management and
resource management.
Data on eco-industries in the European Union (EU) remain incomplete for most sectors. The
items presented below are based on the best available information at the time of the study as
well as on estimates when necessary.
The goods and services provided by eco-industries represent approximately 2.2% of GDP in
the EU-25 area. The largest national markets for eco-industries are France and Germany
which taken together account for 49% of total turnover in 2004. The three following countries
(UK, Italy and the Netherlands) represent together another 24% of the EU-25 total
expenditures. The 10 new member states represent only 5.7% of total turnover, of which half
for Poland alone.
