In 2023, Germany led the European gas discharge lamps waste recycling with 32.89 metric tons. France and the UK followed with respective contributions of 12.5 and 12.29 metric tons. Countries like Spain and Greece experienced significant growths in recycling volumes, at 5.24% and 5.48% respectively. On the contrary, Latvia faced a notable decline of 19.41%, and Italy's recycling decreased by 4.39%. Over the past five years, the recycling rate has shown moderate growth attributed to heightened eco-consciousness and regulatory frameworks promoting the circular economy.
Future trends to observe include the integration of advanced recycling technologies, potential policy shifts at the EU level towards even stricter recycling mandates, and the continued expansion of recycling infrastructure as demand for efficient waste management rises. The progression towards energy-efficient lighting solutions might influence recycling volumes as traditional lamps phase out.
