In 2023, the recycling and preparation for reuse rate of gas discharge lamps waste in Germany stood at observable levels, marking a steady movement into the forecasted period. Forecasts from 2024 indicate a slight downward trend, with annual reductions observed in the recycling rate leading to a decrease from 90.2% in 2024 to 89.8% by 2028.
