Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to analyse Croatia’s international trade in waste, in terms of both export and import quantity, value, origin and destination. Data on trade in waste are available from Eurostat for the period 2004-2020. Results show that extra-EU trade in tonnes increased dramatically. Extra-EU export of waste increased for 3475% and extra-EU imports for 433% in the observed period. Intra-EU exports increased for 50% and intra-EU imports increased for 417%, especially after 2013. Intra-EU exports of waste are 3.45 times larger than extra-EU exports. Intra-EU imports are on average 1.76 times larger than extra-EU imports. Croatia’s trade in waste is predominantly with other EU member states. In order to make national and global economy resilient to environmental changes and decrease material footprint, generation of waste followed by a trade in waste should be decreased by establishing and following responsible consumption and production patterns.
