In 2023, the amount of IT hardware waste prepared for reuse in Germany stood at 6,000 metric tons. The forecast data presents a steady growth, increasing from 6.08 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 6.16 thousand metric tons by 2028. This consistent growth reflects an average year-on-year increase of 0.33%, underscoring Germany's growing focus on reuse initiatives. The Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five years is minimal, emphasizing stable but slow progress.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in recycling processes, increased regulatory pressures for sustainable practices, and potential shifts due to consumer awareness and demand for sustainable electronics solutions. Continued investment in reuse technologies and infrastructure will be critical in promoting further growth.
