The use of crop residues across Europe as direct material inputs varies significantly, with Lithuania and Serbia leading in metric tons per capita. Recent data highlights notable growth in countries like Estonia, Latvia, and Norway, while others like Denmark and Cyprus have experienced declines. Throughout the last year, Lithuania’s usage surged notably by over 9%, while countries like Belgium and Croatia saw a slight decrease. Despite minor fluctuations, many countries have maintained consistent usage with minor growth rates, reflecting a stable demand for used crop residues.
Future trends to watch:
- Continuing growth in Eastern European countries as agricultural practices evolve.
- Potential for increased utilization due to sustainability initiatives and renewable energy projects.
- Technological advances improving the efficiency and economics of residue collection and processing.
