European Paper, Pulp and Printing Sector Final Consumption of Non-Renewable Waste Share by Country (Terajoules)

The 2023 data indicates that Germany dominates the European paper, pulp, and printing sector's non-renewable waste consumption with a share of 57.52 terajoules. It’s followed by Hungary and Finland, with significant year-on-year increases of 25% and 0.61%, respectively. France saw a substantial rise of 25.65%, while production in Denmark and Norway declined by 4.59% and 56.99%. Netherlands had the steepest growth rate at 29.35%, though from a smaller base. Sweden maintained stability with no variation in consumption from the previous year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the past 5 years suggests a slow overall sector increase.

Future trends to watch in the European paper, pulp, and printing sector include the strategic realignment towards sustainability, potentially reducing non-renewable waste consumption. Countries are expected to intensify efforts in researching and adopting more renewable materials and energy-efficient technologies to reduce their reliance on non-renewable resources, thereby impacting sector dynamics in the coming years.
