In 2023, Turkey's waste generated by energy production stood at 21.35 million metric tons. Over the past two years, the year-on-year variation was minimal, with a 5.96% increase in 2022 followed by a 0.64% increase in 2023. The five-year CAGR for 2023 was 0.68%, indicating a modest average annual growth.
Looking ahead, waste generation is forecasted to reach 22.0 million metric tons by 2028, with a five-year CAGR of 0.53% and a forecasted five-year growth rate of 2.68%. This suggests a steady but slow growth trajectory in waste generation over the next few years.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in energy efficiency and waste management technologies, shifts in energy production methods (such as increased use of renewable sources), and potential regulatory changes aimed at reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
