The NETGREEN Thematic Policy Workshop on ''Maximizing resource efficiency throughout the EU economy'' will focus on how Europe can boost resource efficiency through the use of effective policy instruments and appropriate indicators.

The workshop will cover issues such as which are the major drivers and barriers to resource efficiency and what is the role of indicators in measuring progress towards more efficient use of material resources.
