Sweden leads Europe's domestic extraction of metals, contributing the largest share at 34.98 million metric tons in 2023. Other significant contributors are Bulgaria, Finland, and Poland, with values between 12.03-12.82 million metric tons. Smaller contributors like France and Cyprus displayed notable contractions. The trends over 2023 showed modest positive growth for several countries, with Austria leading at 3.75%. In contrast, substantial declinations in removal were recorded in France at 43.96% and Cyprus at 16.02%.
Future trends indicate a potential increase in Scandinavian contributions due to ongoing investments and innovation in metal extraction technologies. Efforts in sustainability and the shift towards green technologies can accelerate changes or redistributions in metal production and usage.
