The forecast predicts that municipal waste treated in Germany will increase steadily from 55.1 million metric tons in 2024 to 56.84 million metric tons in 2028. This consistent growth indicates a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.8% to 1.0%. In 2023, the volume of municipal waste treated was slightly below 55.1 million metric tons. Over this 5-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be around 0.8%.
Key future trends to watch include advances in waste management technology, increasing efficiency in recycling, and policy shifts aimed at reducing waste generation, all of which may impact the trajectory of waste treatment volumes.
