In 2023, Germany led European renewable municipal waste consumption in the non-metallic minerals sector with 52.12 GWh. Latvia, Ireland, and Bulgaria followed with significant year-on-year growth rates of 15.55%, 4.6%, and 5.7%, respectively. Central and Eastern European countries like Hungary showed remarkable growth at 21.95%, while Nordic countries such as Norway and Finland had modest increases. Conversely, Estonia and Poland experienced substantial declines in consumption, with Poland decreasing by 42.21%. France remained virtually unchanged at 0.013 GWh.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential growth in Eastern European countries as they adopt more renewable practices.
- Possibility of stabilization or decline in Nordic countries as they reach saturation.
- Policy shifts in larger economies like Germany and France could significantly impact overall consumption patterns.
