The data indicates a varied trend in recycled plastic packaging waste in Sweden from 2013 to 2023. After a consistent growth from 2013 to 2016, the figures dipped in 2017 and experienced a significant drop in 2020 and 2021. This decline was followed by a sharp recovery in 2022, and by 2023, the value stood at 56.2 units, marking a strong recovery.
Year-on-year percentage changes over the period show notable volatility, particularly the sharp declines in 2020 and 2021. However, from 2021 the trend reversed significantly. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 1.93% from 2024 to 2028 suggests moderate growth.
Future trends to watch include advancements in recycling technology, stricter environmental regulations, and increased consumer awareness, which could drive higher recycling rates and innovation in packaging materials.
