In 2023, the amount of end-of-life vehicles recycled in Germany was not explicitly provided, but projections for future years suggest a consistent decline. By 2024, it is forecasted at 396.36 thousand metric tons, decreasing year-on-year, with 2028 seeing 373.08 thousand metric tons. This denotes a consistent decrease in volume over the five-year period.

Trends to watch in the future include:

Technological advancements in recycling efficiency could slow or reverse the declining trend.
Regulatory changes may impact both recycling rates and methodologies.
The increasing adoption of electric vehicles, altering the composition of end-of-life vehicles.
