The forecast for France's plastics waste exports within the EU27 shows a gradual upward trend from 2024 to 2028, growing from 343.7 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 352.21 thousand metric tons in 2028. This represents steady growth, reflecting a year-on-year increase of slightly below 1% annually. Given the absence of prior data points, it is assumed the base level in 2023 was relatively stable, aligning with the forecast growth pattern depicted here.
Looking forward, trends to watch include the impact of EU regulations on plastic waste reduction and recycling efforts, potential shifts in global trade dynamics affecting intra-EU trade, and advancements in recycling technologies that could further influence export volumes.
