The recovered steel packaging waste in France is projected to experience a steady increase from 434.42 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 451.88 thousand metric tons in 2028. This represents a consistent growth in the annual recovery rate. The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2025 stands at 1.02%, with minor increments observed each subsequent year leading to 2028.

Future trends to monitor include:

Industry adaptations to circular economy principles, which could further influence the recovery rates favorably.
The implementation of more stringent regulations on waste management, potentially accelerating recovery efforts.
Technological advancements in recycling processes that might improve efficiency and capacity.
