European Industry Sector Final Consumption of Non-Renewable Waste by Country

In 2023, Germany led the European industry sector in the final consumption of non-renewable waste at 14.99 thousand GWh, despite experiencing modest growth of 0.7% year-on-year. Poland faced a slight 0.51% decline, while France's consumption increased by 2.44%. Notably, Romania and Croatia showed significant increases at 17.38% and 23.94%, respectively. Lithuania's use surged by 30.29%, marking the highest growth. In the context of a 5-year CAGR, gradual shifts in the sector reflect varying national responses to non-renewable waste usage.

Future trends to watch include:

• Germany's efforts toward greener approaches may influence its leading consumption levels.
• Growth in Eastern European countries, such as Lithuania and Romania, highlights potential shifts and opportunities.
• The transition to renewable resources across Europe, as well as policy changes, could impact future consumption patterns.
