The European End-of-life Vehicles Recycling Share (Metric Tons) in 2023 indicated the United Kingdom as the leading country with 21.09 metric tons, closely followed by France at 20.96. Italy and Spain maintained moderate shares at 11.96 and 8.59, respectively. Germany’s share was notably lower at 5.72, demonstrating a -4.15% year-on-year variation. Poland showed significant growth with a 5.73% increase, whereas smaller countries like Luxembourg witnessed substantial declines. Rapid growth was observed in Cyprus and Croatia, with 9.3% and 21.5% increases, respectively, indicating emerging trends in these regions.
Future trends to watch include the continued growth of recycling efforts in Eastern European countries such as Poland and Croatia, which may shape the landscape. Conversely, Germany’s declining trend might prompt policy revisions. The increasing focus on circular economy principles and upcoming EU regulations could also drive significant shifts in recycling shares across Europe.
