The circularity rate is part of the EU monitoring framework on the circular economy.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, the circularity rate was highest in the Netherlands (31%), followed by Belgium (23%) and France (22%). The lowest rate was recorded in Romania (1%), followed by Ireland and Portugal (both 2%). Differences in the circularity rate among the Member States are based not only on the amount of recycling of each country but also on structural factors in national economies.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the main type of material, the circularity rate also presents some considerable differences, but small increases were registered in all 4 categories.
