The forecast for Italy's extra-EU28 imports of plastic waste shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from 14.43 million euros to 15.81 million euros. Assuming the value in 2023 stood at around 14 million euros, the growth is consistent with a year-on-year increase of approximately 2.4% to 2.5%. This pattern indicates a stable upward trajectory in imported plastic waste value.
Looking towards future trends, factors such as changes in EU policies on waste importation, advancements in recycling technologies, or shifts in global demand for recycled plastics could significantly alter import dynamics. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for accurate future forecasting.
