The municipal waste recycling rate in Norway is forecasted to decline mildly from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the rate stands at 37.8%, decreasing yearly to 37.2% by 2028. In 2023, the rate was at 37.9%, indicating a decline of 0.26% from 2023 to 2024. From 2024 to 2025, a slight drop of 0.53% is observed, followed by subsequent annual decreases.
