The Mass of Human-Made Materials Now Equals the Planet’s Biomass, Weizmann Institute Finds We are doubling the mass of the anthropogenic part of the world every 20 years – and the curve is not flattening Weizmann Institute of Science Newswise The mass of all human-produced materials – concrete, steel, plastics, asphalt, etc. – has now grown to equal the mass of all life on the planet, its biomass. According to a new study from the Weizmann Institute of Science, we are exactly at the crossover point, and humans are currently adding buildings, roads, vehicles, and products at a rate that is doubling every 20 years, leading to a “concrete jungle” that is predicted to reach over 2 teratonnes (2 million million) – or more than double the mass of living things – by 2040.
