In 2023, the UK's import of waste and scrap of paper and paperboard was valued at approximately 25.9 million USD. From 2024 to 2028, this market is expected to demonstrate a modest upward trend. The year-on-year increase highlights continuous but slow growth, as each consecutive year gains marginally in value. The values for 2024 and 2025 reveal an initial growth trend that maintains consistency through to 2028, signaling a stable trajectory.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential policy changes in waste management and environmental regulations that may impact import levels.
Technological advancements in recycling processes that can affect supply chains and demand for imports.
Shifts in global demand for recycled materials which could alter market dynamics.
