The calculated inland consumption of non-renewable municipal waste in Germany is forecasted to increase gradually from 129.9 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 134.79 thousand terajoules in 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year growth. In 2023, the actual consumption level set the baseline for this upward trend in consumption.
The year-on-year variation between 2024 and 2028 shows a consistent growth pattern, contributing to an overall upward trend across the five-year period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period highlights a modest but steady increase in consumption.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential regulatory changes impacting non-renewable waste management.
- Technological advancements in waste processing and recycling.
- Shifts in public and corporate attitudes towards sustainable practices.
- Impact of Germany's commitment to climate goals on waste policies.
