In 2023, the final consumption of non-renewable municipal waste in the chemical and petrochemical sectors in France stood at approximately 0.19 Terajoules. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate steady growth, with consumption expected to rise from 0.21 Terajoules in 2024 to 0.29 Terajoules by 2028. This represents a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of about 9% over the five-year period. The year-on-year increments are consistently around 9.5%, reflecting a stable upward trend driven by increased demand in the sector.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes influencing waste management and the push for sustainable alternatives, which may impact the trajectory of non-renewable municipal waste consumption. Additionally, advancements in recycling technology and shifting industry practices towards circular economy principles could further alter consumption patterns.
