European Total Waste Prepared for Reuse by Country

The 2024 European forecast for Total Waste Prepared for Reuse shows Germany leading at 18.09 thousand metric tons, followed by Austria with 12.99 and France with 9.37. Germany's reuse levels rose by 5.04% in 2023, while Austria grew by 5.71%. France experienced a minimal 0.17% increase. Notably, Belgium saw a decline of 2.16%. Sweden and Bulgaria had significant reductions, with -5.81% and -10.78% respectively. Over five years, Germany and Austria sustained steady growth, while other countries show varied trends.

Future trends to watch include accelerated initiatives in circular economies potentially boosting reuse volumes, particularly in countries lagging behind like Bulgaria and Sweden. Efforts toward sustainable waste management and EU policies could significantly impact overall growth in reuse capacities across Europe.
