In 2023, Germany led European investment in waste management with a 51.99 million euro contribution, followed by Belgium and Slovenia. While Germany and Belgium showed slight growth, Slovenia experienced a robust increase. Contrastingly, Italy and Slovakia faced double-digit declines, indicative of sectoral challenges.
