Based on the forecast data from 2024 to 2028, the availability of renewable municipal waste for final consumption in the UK demonstrates a steady increase from 73.99 to 84.04 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. If the base value for 2023 is hypothetically set around 71.24 thousand tonnes, the year-on-year growth rate from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent upward trend. Between 2024 and 2025, the increase is approximately 3.5%, and continues with similar percentages thereafter, resulting in an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 3.15% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Government policies promoting waste-to-energy conversion could further boost municipal waste availability.
- Technological advancements in recycling and waste management may influence the demand and supply balance.
- Sustainability initiatives can affect both production and consumption patterns in this sector.
