In 2023, Germany led European non-renewable municipal waste final consumption in industry with 53.03 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, marking a 2.54% increase from the previous year. Poland and the UK, with 16.1 and 9.22 thousand tonnes respectively, showed contrasting trends: Poland decreased by 1.08% while the UK grew by 1.95%. Notable changes include Cyprus's 17% surge and significant growth in Hungary and Estonia by 29.54% and 77.23%. In smaller markets, Romania and France increased by 13.6% and 5.46%, respectively, against a backdrop of minor contractions seen in Ireland and Denmark.
Looking ahead, anticipated increases in waste-to-energy technology and regulatory shifts could reshape consumption. Countries focusing on energy recovery could see changes in industrial consumption shares, especially with Germany dominating. The trend towards sustainable waste management in Europe is likely to moderate these variations.
