The European non-renewable industrial waste final consumption in the paper, pulp, and printing sectors highlights significant variations across countries. In 2023, Hungary was the largest consumer with 34.56 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, noting a 24.99% increase from the previous year. Notable growth was also recorded in Belgium and France, with 1.72% and 24.5%, respectively. In contrast, Germany experienced a 15.91% decrease, with Norway seeing a substantial decline of 52.84%. Over the past five years, trends reflect Hungary and the Netherlands as key growth markets, with other countries showing modest gains or declines.
Future trends to watch include the potential shift towards more sustainable practices within these sectors. This may result in reduced reliance on non-renewable resources as more countries adopt circular economy principles, emphasizing recycling and energy efficiency. The transition towards renewable energy sources could impact future consumption levels, demanding a strategic response from stakeholders within the European market.
