The forecast for non-renewable industrial waste final consumption in the chemical and petrochemical sectors in Germany indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. The consumption is expected to rise from 6.17 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 6.67 thousand terajoules by 2028. This represents incremental year-on-year growth, with the consumption increasing each year by around 1.97% on average. Compared to the consumption values in 2023, this is a continuation of the increasing trend seen in non-renewable industrial waste usage in these sectors.

Future trends worth watching include:

Regulatory impacts on non-renewable waste usage as environmental policies become more stringent.
Technological advancements in waste management and recycling within the chemical and petrochemical industries potentially altering consumption patterns.
Market shifts towards renewable resources, which might decelerate the growth of non-renewable waste consumption post-2028.
