The forecast for plastics waste intra-EU28 imports to Italy from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decrease from 75.23 million euros to 74.15 million euros. Compared to 2023, Italy is experiencing a gradual decline, signaling a potential saturation in demand or increased efficiency in recycling domestically. The year-on-year percentage decrease is slight but consistent, indicating a overall long-term reduction in import activity.

For future trends, watch for:

EU regulations on plastics recycling and waste management, impacting import levels.
Technological advancements in recycling technologies within Italy.
Shifts in consumer behavior towards sustainable practices reducing waste.
