In 2023, the non-renewable waste final consumption in the chemical and petrochemical sectors in Italy was recorded at an unknown base, as the exact figure is not provided. From 2024 onwards, a steady annual growth begins, with forecasts showing an increase from 83.07 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent in 2024 to 91.78 in 2028. The annual growth rates show a consistent upward trend of approximately 2.6% year-on-year.

Future trends to watch for:

The impact of Italy's regulatory policies aimed at reducing non-renewable waste consumption and promoting sustainable practices in the industrial sectors.
Technological advancements in the chemical and petrochemical sectors that may lead to more efficient waste management and reduced dependency on non-renewable resources.
Shifts in global market dynamics and raw material prices, which could influence the consumption patterns of non-renewable waste in Italy.
