The UK's forecast for lighting equipment waste recycled and prepared for reuse indicates a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028, measured in kilograms per capita. Starting at 0.08 kg per capita in 2024 and 2025, the value is projected to rise to 0.09 kg per capita from 2026 to 2028, suggesting a slight upward trend.

When analyzing year-on-year variations, there's a noticeable stabilization in recycling and reuse practice initially, followed by a modest growth beginning in 2026. Over the five years, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) remains steady, reflecting a consistent but slow upward momentum.

Future trends to watch for:

Growth in eco-friendly lighting technology may lead to increased recycling rates.
Regulatory changes in waste management could influence recycling volumes.
Public awareness and participation in recycling programs could further impact these numbers.
