The forecast for steel packaging waste in France from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline. Starting at 5.82 kilograms per capita in 2024, the value is projected to decrease year-on-year, reaching 5.09 kilograms by 2028. This marks a significant downward trend, with annual variations approximating 3% and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a steady decline over the five-year period. By viewing this decrease in the context of its trajectory from an estimated 2023 baseline, the data suggests an ongoing reduction in steel packaging waste generation.
Future trends to watch include the impact of ongoing sustainability initiatives and regulatory changes on packaging waste. Efforts to increase recycling rates and reduce overall material usage are likely to influence future waste levels, as well as technological advancements in packaging alternatives. Monitoring these factors will be critical in assessing the trajectory of steel packaging waste post-2028.
