The import of glass cullet, waste or scrap, and glass in mass to Italy is forecasted to decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the figures stood at a higher level than projected for the subsequent years, revealing a gradual reduction each year. The year-on-year variation indicates a consistent downturn, highlighting a significant decrease by 2028. The compound annual growth rate over this five-year period accentuates the trend of decreasing imports. Factors like domestic recycling improvements or policy changes could influence this trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Changes in European Union environmental policies affecting recycling and waste importation.
Technological advancements in glass recycling within Italy.
Fluctuations in industrial demand for raw materials and recycled content.
