In 2023, Germany led the European renewable municipal waste final consumption in industry, significantly ahead of the rest, with 55.67 GWh. The United Kingdom followed at 6.63 GWh, while Latvia marked notable growth at 15.55% year-over-year. Hungary experienced the largest increase with 21.95%. However, some countries like Poland and Estonia saw declines, with -9.89% and -11.2% respectively. Over the past five years, a mixed pattern in compounded annual growth rates suggests varied adoption and transition rates across the continent.
Future trends to watch include:
- Continued growth in Latvia and Hungary due to increased investments and policy support.
- Potential stabilization or rebound in countries facing recent declines, such as Estonia and Poland.
- Impact of regulatory changes on countries like Germany, the current leader, which may seek to maintain or expand its consumption share.
- Technological advancements and infrastructure developments likely driving increases in renewable waste usage.
