The forecast for zinc waste or scrap imports to Canada indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 511.88 to 465.21 thousand USD. This suggests an annual reduction in import value, which averages around 2.5% per year. Given these trends and the standing value in 2023, this decline may indicate decreased demand or increased domestic recycling efficiency.

Future trends to watch for include:

Developments in domestic recycling technologies that may further decrease imports.
Global market conditions affecting zinc demand and trade policies.
Environmental regulations impacting the handling and import of zinc waste.
