In 2023, Italy's intra-EU27 imports of paper and cardboard waste amounted to an estimated 59.75 million euros. From 2024 onwards, forecasted data indicates a steady increase, with values reaching 61.04 million euros by 2028. This period exhibits a modest year-on-year increase, averaging around 0.4% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year span is modest, indicative of a stable but slow expansion in the value of these imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in EU waste management policies or recycling initiatives that could impact import volumes and values. Additionally, fluctuations in global commodity prices might influence trade dynamics within the EU27.
