In 2023, the consumption of non-renewable waste in the chemical and petrochemical sectors in Italy was recorded at an approximate value, slightly above 3.36 thousand terajoules. From 2024 to 2028, a consistent upward trend is forecasted, with consumption increasing annually from 3.44 to 3.76 thousand terajoules. This represents a steady year-on-year growth of around 2.33% through this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is projected at a similarly stable 2.33%.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in regulatory frameworks focused on sustainability, which might impact non-renewable waste consumption. Additionally, technological advancements and innovations in waste recycling and renewable alternatives are crucial to monitor, as they could alter consumption patterns significantly in the chemical and petrochemical industries.
