In 2023, Poland led the European road freight volume in the waste and scrap wholesale sector with 80 million vehicle-kilometers. Spain followed with 45 million vehicle-kilometers. Year-on-year fluctuations showed Poland and the Czech Republic with slight growth, while Slovakia experienced a significant increase. Conversely, countries like Greece and Denmark saw notable declines. Over the past year, many smaller nations maintained stable volumes, indicating plateauing performance in these areas.
Future trends to monitor include potential growth in emerging markets and shifts in environmental regulations impacting the waste and scrap sector. Innovations in recycling logistics could also reshape freight volumes in upcoming years.
