Germany's forecast for plastics waste imports from outside the EU27 shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. The projected value starts at 49.26 million Euros in 2024 and grows to 56.2 million Euros by 2028. This continuation of growth reflects a moderate year-on-year increase, with compound annual growth rate (CAGR) analysis revealing a consistent upward trend over the forecast period. Notably, the number stood at 48 million Euros in 2023, indicating gradual growth.
Future trends in Germany's plastics waste imports will likely be influenced by global economic conditions, legislative changes in waste management policies, and advancements in recycling technologies. As pressures mount for sustainable practices, Germany might also prioritize increased domestic recycling capabilities and the use of alternative materials to reduce reliance on imports.
