In 2023, the non-renewable municipal waste final consumption in the textile and leather sector in France was 3.36 Terajoules. The forecasted data from 2024 indicates a steady upward trend, with consumption increasing annually. From 2024 to 2028, consumption is projected to rise from 4.45 to 8.79 Terajoules, which suggests a consistent year-on-year increase due to heightened industrial demand and insufficient recycling practices. The compound annual growth rate of this period is substantial, underscoring escalating reliance on non-renewable waste consumption.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased regulatory pressure for sustainable practices may alter this trajectory.
Innovation in textile recycling technologies could impact consumption patterns.
Consumer demand for sustainable products might drive a shift towards more renewable waste solutions.
