The analysis of European renewable municipal waste final consumption in the paper, pulp, and printing sectors shows diverse trends across countries. Germany has the highest consumption in 2024 with 1.65 thousand gigawatthours, marking a 2.96% increase year-on-year in 2023. Finland experienced a notable decline of 5.09%, while Norway dropped by 5.59%. Poland's consumption remained steady with no change, the same case for France with negligible values recorded. Denmark witnessed a reduction of 4.99% in its consumption.
Future trends to watch: As sustainability initiatives grow, investments in renewable energy and improved waste management technologies will likely drive more consistent consumption patterns. Countries with substantial declines could focus on innovation to reverse these trends.
