In 2023, municipal waste generated in Spain stood at 451 kilograms per capita. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 show a steady decline in municipal waste generation per capita, starting at 449.21 kilograms in 2024 and reducing to 444.6 kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, indicating a positive trend towards reducing waste generation at an average annual decrease of around 0.3-0.4%.
Moving forward, it is essential to monitor various future trends such as the introduction of new waste management technologies, changes in consumer behavior, and stricter environmental regulations, all of which could further influence the reduction in municipal waste generation.
