In 2023, Germany led European non-renewable waste consumption in the chemical and petrochemical sectors, comprising 37.85 terajoules. Italy and Austria followed with 17.74 and 17.41 terajoules, respectively. Portugal, Hungary, and Slovenia demonstrated significant growth, with Hungary showing an impressive 31.95% increase, and Portugal topping with 48.7%. Conversely, Belgium experienced a notable decline of 16.74%, and Germany decreased by 2.07%. Across five years, compound annual growth rates will reflect modest rises, with outliers such as Portugal's strong increase impacting the averages.
Future trends to watch include the potential increase in waste-to-energy technologies driven by European green policies. As nations strive to meet sustainability targets, a shift towards renewable consumption and waste management efficiencies is anticipated, potentially reducing non-renewable waste reliance in these sectors.
