The forecast for recovered steel packaging waste in Italy indicates a steady trend, with values maintaining at 77.1 from 2024 through 2026 and a slight increase to 77.2 from 2027 to 2028. This consistent level suggests minimal growth, particularly when compared to 2023 where the volume was 76.0. The year-on-year variation from 2023 showed a slight positive change. However, over five years, we observe a minimal Compound Annual Growth Rate, indicating a stable but minimally advancing trend in steel packaging recycling efficiency.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in recycling processes that could improve efficiency.
Policy changes at the European level that might influence recycling targets and rates.
Market demand for steel and its impact on recycling incentives.
