From 2024 to 2028, paper and cardboard waste imports to France from outside the EU27 are projected to decrease annually, from 19.06 million euros to 15.1 million euros. This reflects a decline driven by sustainability policies and changes in global trade dynamics. The year-on-year variation shows an average decrease of approximately 5% per year, indicative of a consistent downward trend.
Future trends to monitor include:
- The impact of regulatory changes in waste management.
- Alternatives in material usage reducing dependency on paper/cardboard imports.
- Technological advancements in recycling efficiency which might reduce imports.
