Correction to: Nature Climate Change https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-023-01782-6, published online 11 September 2023.

In the version of this article initially published, a typographical error—“prolonged by 30–55% ” instead of “prolonged by 40–115%”—appeared in the “Lifetimes” column in Table 1, and “>80%” rather than “>50%” appeared in the last paragraph of the “Surging EoL materials make closing material cycles possible” section. Additionally, a few typographical errors appeared in Supplementary Tables 5, 7, 8 and 9, in which several parameters were not updated. These errors do not have any impact on the validity of our results or the conclusions drawn from our research. Our findings and the overall integrity of the study remain unaffected. The errors have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article, and the Supplementary Information has been replaced online.
