Consumer goods represented 14%, with electronics, construction, automotive, and other uses making up the remaining 34%.\n\nBy 2019, packaging’s share had risen substantially to 47%, driven by the explosive growth in e-commerce and single-use plastics. Textiles increased modestly to 19%, while consumer goods declined slightly to 11%. Construction and automotive shares each fell marginally.

Infrastructure and welfare each represented around 14% and 10% respectively, with administration taking the remaining 8%.\n\nBy 2020, healthcare had grown dramatically to 31% — surpassing education (now at 25%) to become the largest category, reflecting an ageing population and rising medical costs. Welfare spending rose from 10% to 17%, while defence declined sharply from 18% to 10%. Infrastructure’s allocation fell modestly to 11%.

Average length of stay varied considerably across destinations.\n\nFrance recorded the highest number of international arrivals at 89 million, followed by Spain at 83 million. However, in terms of revenue, the USA ranked first with $214 billion — substantially higher than France’s $63 billion — suggesting that American tourists spend considerably more per visit. Spain earned $80 billion despite receiving slightly fewer visitors than France.\n\nAverage length of stay showed interesting variation. Greece recorded the longest average stay at 9.2 nights, while the USA had the shortest at 5.1 nights, possibly reflecting the prevalence of short city breaks.

Televisions and computers represented lower consumption overall, with figures hovering around 100–180 kWh.

By 2020, Asian rice production had risen moderately to 295Mt. Wheat production showed a different pattern: Europe and the Americas were more significant producers, generating 180 and 120 million tonnes respectively in 2020.\n\nMaize production grew most dramatically across all regions. The Americas saw the largest increase, rising from 280 to 470 million tonnes — nearly double the 2000 figure — driven largely by US ethanol production.

At this stage, paper is sorted by type — newsprint, cardboard, and office paper are separated — before being shredded into small pieces.\n\nThe shredded material is then mixed with water and chemicals in a large tank to create a pulp. This pulp undergoes a cleaning process in which contaminants such as staples, ink, and adhesives are removed, first by filtering and then through a flotation stage where air bubbles lift remaining ink particles to the surface. The cleaned pulp is then spread onto a flat mesh conveyor, where water drains away and the fibres bond together. Finally, the sheet is dried, rolled, and cut into the finished recycled paper product, ready for reuse.”, “Process diagram”, “Environment”], [“The diagram shows how electricity is generated from wind power.”, “The diagram illustrates the process by which wind energy is converted into electrical power for homes and businesses.\n\nOverall, wind power generation is a relatively straightforward multi-stage process that converts kinetic energy into usable electricity with no direct emissions.\n\nThe process begins when wind strikes the turbine’s rotor blades, which are designed in an aerofoil shape to maximise lift. The blades rotate and drive a central shaft connected to a gearbox, which increases the rotational speed from approximately 18 rpm to 1,500 rpm. This high-speed rotation then powers a generator, which converts the mechanical energy into alternating current (AC) electricity.\n\nThe electricity produced passes through a transformer, which steps up the voltage for efficient long-distance transmission. The power then travels via underground cables or overhead lines to a substation, where the voltage is reduced for safe distribution. Finally, the electricity reaches homes, offices, and factories through the national grid. Notably, the entire process produces no greenhouse gases during operation.”, “Process diagram”, “Energy”], [“The diagram shows the stages in the manufacture of chocolate from cacao beans.”, “The diagram illustrates the production process of chocolate, from the harvesting of cacao pods to the final packaged product.\n\nOverall, the process involves several complex stages including fermentation and roasting, which are essential to developing the distinctive flavour of chocolate.\n\nThe process begins on cacao farms, where ripe pods are harvested by hand and split open to extract the beans. The beans and surrounding pulp then undergo fermentation for five to seven days, a critical stage that develops flavour precursors. Following fermentation, the beans are dried in the sun and transported to a processing facility.\n\nAt the factory, the beans are first cleaned and then roasted at temperatures between 120°C and 150°C to enhance the flavour. The outer shells are removed by winnowing, leaving cacao nibs which are ground into a thick paste called chocolate liquor. Cocoa butter and sugar are added at this stage. The mixture undergoes conching, a lengthy process of continuous mixing that smooths the texture. Finally, the chocolate is tempered, moulded, and cooled before packaging.”, “Process diagram”, “Food & Agriculture”], [“The diagram shows the process used to desalinate seawater to produce fresh drinking water.”, “The diagram illustrates the multi-stage process of converting seawater into drinkable freshwater using reverse osmosis desalination.\n\nOverall, the process involves several filtration and pressurisation steps before the water is safe for consumption, and also produces a concentrated brine by-product.\n\nThe process begins when seawater is drawn from the ocean through large intake pipes. It first passes through a pre-filter that removes large debris and sediment. The water then undergoes chemical pre-treatment to prevent biological growth within the system.\n\nThe pre-treated water is then pressurised to approximately 70 bar and forced through semi-permeable reverse osmosis membranes. These membranes allow water molecules to pass through while blocking dissolved salts and impurities. The freshwater that emerges on the other side undergoes post-treatment, including mineralisation and pH adjustment, before being stored in reservoirs. Simultaneously, the concentrated brine solution that could not pass through the membranes is discharged back into the sea, though this requires careful management to minimise environmental impact.”, “Process diagram”, “Technology & Environment”], [“The diagram shows how bricks are made for the building industry.”, “The diagram illustrates the stages involved in producing clay bricks used in construction.\n\nOverall, brick manufacture is a linear seven-stage process that transforms raw clay into a durable building material through a combination of mechanical processing and high-temperature firing.\n\nThe process begins with the excavation of clay from open-pit mines using heavy machinery. The raw clay is then transported to a processing plant where it is filtered and mixed with sand and water to achieve the correct consistency. This mixture is placed into a mould or cut by wire to produce uniform brick shapes.\n\nFollowing shaping, the bricks are left to dry in a drying oven for one to two days, which removes excess moisture and prevents cracking during firing. The dried bricks then enter a kiln where they are fired at temperatures between 870°C and 1,300°C for two to three days — a process that permanently hardens the clay. After cooling, the finished bricks are inspected for quality, packaged, and delivered to construction sites.”, “Process diagram”, “Construction”], [“The maps below show the layout of a town centre in 1990 and the present day.”, “The maps compare the layout of a town centre in 1990 with its current configuration, revealing significant development over the past three decades.\n\nOverall, the town centre has undergone considerable transformation, with retail and recreational facilities expanding at the expense of older industrial and parking areas.\n\nIn 1990, the northern section of the centre was dominated by a large factory and an adjacent car park.
