In 2023, IT hardware waste recycled and prepared for reuse in Italy stood at 0.75 kilograms per capita. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 reveals a slight declining trend, with values starting at 0.75 kilograms per capita in 2024 and gradually decreasing to 0.73 kilograms per capita by 2028. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent decrease of approximately 1.33% for 2025-2026 and 2027-2028. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) further indicates a subtle decline in recycling efforts.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in recycling processes, increased EU regulations focusing on e-waste management, and potential shifts in consumer behavior towards more sustainable IT practices. Monitoring these trends is crucial to address the slight decrease in recycling rates and promote more sustainable e-waste practices in Italy.
