In 2023, Germany led Europe in gas discharge lamp waste treatment at 31.88 metric tons, with France and the UK trailing at 12.53 and 11.44 metric tons respectively. Germany showed a modest 0.53% year-on-year growth, while France saw a notable 3.5% increase. Spain and Greece exhibited sharp growth patterns at 5.47% and 5.5% respectively. In contrast, Italy and Latvia saw declines of -6.37% and -6.21%. Iceland experienced the most substantial growth at 6.43% despite its smaller contribution.
Future trends to watch include potential increases in waste treatment capacities driven by regulations for environmental protection. Growth is expected in countries like Spain and Greece, while Germany may continue its efficient handling although at a slower pace. Focus may shift to improving processes to cope with evolving technologies and eco-friendly lighting solutions replacing discharge lamps.
