The import of waste or scrap paperboard of mechanical pulp to Germany is projected to increase steadily from 1.4038 billion kg in 2024 to 1.4436 billion kg by 2028. This marks a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 0.7% to 0.8%. Actual data from 2023 is unfortunately not provided, limiting a precise calculation for that previous period. However, the five-year CAGR indicates a gradual and stable upward trend in imports.

Future trends to watch for:

Germany's recycling policies and their effect on domestic demand for imported waste paper.
Global market dynamics in paper and pulp, potentially affecting import volumes.
Technological advances in recycling processes, influencing the import of waste paperboard.
