Global resource consumption will outpace Earth's replenishment capacity by 2050, with materials like biomass, fossil fuels, metals, and minerals set to double by 2060. This surge in consumption is also projected to increase waste generation by 70% by 2050, contributing significantly to pollution and 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, producing one tonne of laptops can emit up to 10 tonnes of CO2, emphasizing the importance of resource-efficient production and recycled inputs.
