In 2023, the import of glass cullet, waste, or scrap glass to France was 140.0 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, predicted imports show a decreasing trend from 137.03 million kilograms to 127.8 million kilograms. The year-on-year change reflects a gradual decline of about 1.7% annually. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately -2.1%, indicating a steady reduction in imports.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of increased domestic glass recycling initiatives and policies promoting circular economies, potentially further decreasing the need for importing glass waste. Additionally, advancements in glass recycling technology may alter import dynamics.
