In 2023, Hungary led non-renewable industrial waste consumption in the paper, pulp, and printing sectors with 1.55 thousand terajoules, followed by France and Belgium. Significant year-on-year increases were reported in Hungary and France, at 25% and 25.58%, respectively, contrasting with Germany's reduction of 16.63%. Notably, Norway saw a significant decrease of 54.28%. Some countries, like Sweden, reported stable consumption levels. Over the last five years, countries like the Netherlands experienced a strong average annual growth rate, signaling an increasing trend toward higher consumption.
Future trends to watch include a potential rise in non-renewable waste consumption due to increased production demands. However, a movement towards sustainable practices might temper these increases. Monitoring of regulatory changes impacting waste management and consumption patterns across European countries will be crucial.
