The 2023 data shows a significant disparity in labor costs per employee FTE in the European waste collection and materials recovery sector. Switzerland leads with the highest labor cost at 87.5 thousand Euros, followed by Denmark, Belgium, and Norway with values above 65 thousand Euros. In contrast, Eastern European countries like Romania and Bulgaria have the lowest costs, at around 11 thousand Euros.
Given the static nature of year-on-year variations as indicated by nil changes, we expect similar trends to continue in the near term. Future trends to watch include potential impacts of policy changes on labor costs and technological advancements in waste management which could affect labor demands across different countries.
- Significant cost variance between Western and Eastern Europe.
- Higher labor costs concentrated in developed countries.
- Economic and policy shifts as potential influencers on future costs.
