This table includes additional information to the above visualized indicators, i.e. a short definition of this indicator and a description of the politically determined target values as well as explaining the political intention behind selecting this indicator.
Definition (Text from the Indicator Report 2022 - State 31.10.2022) |
The indicator of raw material input productivity compares the value of all goods provided for final use (in euros, price-adjusted) relative to the mass of the raw materials used domestically and abroad for their production (in tonnes). Final use covers domestic consumption and domestic investments as well as exports. |

Definition |
The indicator shows total raw material productivity compared to the base year 2010. The indicator compares the value of all goods sold for final use (in euros, price-adjusted) with the mass of raw materials used for their production at home and abroad (in tonnes). The last use includes both domestic consumption and domestic investment as well as exports. The denominator of the indicator includes both abiotic and biotic raw materials extracted from the environment as well as plant material produced by agriculture and forestry. The graph shows the indicator itself as well as the numerator and denominator separately. |
Intention |
The extraction of raw materials is always associated with a negative impact on nature. Due to the growing demand for raw materials, raw material deposits are increasingly being tapped worldwide in areas that are particularly sensitive to human impact. For this reason, the German government set itself the goal of further increasing overall raw material productivity in the German Resource Efficiency Programme (ProgRess) II in 2016. |
Target |
Trend of the years 2000 to 2010 to be maintained until 2030 |
Type of target |
Goal with a specific target value |
Implementation in weather symbol calculation |
The target allows for various interpretations. For the assessment of indicator 8.1 carried out here, the geometric mean of the increase in the indicator value between 2000 and 2010 is calculated and used as the basis for the desired trend up to 2030. Standardised to the 2010 value, this results in a target value of 136.8 for the year 2030. Accordingly, total raw material productivity should be increased to at least 136.8 percent of the 2010 value by 2030. |
