In 2024, the available non-renewable industrial waste in Germany for final consumption is forecasted to be 727.76 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, a gradual increase from previous years.

The forecast shows a steady growth trajectory over the next five years, with year-on-year variations demonstrating a consistent increase in the range of 1.45% to 1.55% annually. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five years is expected to be around 1.4%.

Given this trend, key future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in industrial processes to minimize waste generation.
Policy developments focusing on circular economy initiatives and stricter waste management regulations.
Potential shifts towards more sustainable practices that could impact non-renewable waste forecasts.
