In 2023, the international container transport volume of secondary raw materials, municipal and other wastes in Germany stood at 62.0 thousand metric tons. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a decline, with volumes dropping from 60.0 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 52.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. This indicates a year-on-year decrease of approximately 3.3% from 2024 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period reflects an average annual reduction of about 3.5%.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in waste processing technologies and potential regulatory changes aimed at reducing waste exports. Additionally, shifts towards a circular economy could further impact these volumes as Germany strives for sustainable waste management solutions.
