In 2023, Germany, Poland, and France led European non-renewable industrial waste production, with Germany alone contributing significantly higher volumes than other countries. Year-on-year trends from 2022-2023 indicated notable increases in countries like Sweden and Croatia, with 38.85% and 23.94% respectively. Conversely, the Netherlands saw a decline of 4.58%. The United Kingdom observed a remarkable increase of 10.04%, while Hungary experienced a slight decrease of 0.79%. The five-year CAGR highlights an overall slow growth trend across Europe.
Future trends to watch include potential policy-driven reductions in industrial waste production across Europe, with particular attention on emerging technologies and regulatory frameworks aimed at minimizing waste output in the energy and manufacturing sectors. Additionally, variations in economic activity and industrial production due to geopolitical factors could impact future waste production metrics.
