European Non-Renewable Waste Gross Inland Consumption by Country

In 2023, Germany led in non-renewable waste gross inland consumption at 50.54 TWh, followed by France (20.76 TWh) and the UK (20.18 TWh). Countries like Sweden, Hungary, and Lithuania exhibited notable growth with increases of 6.84%, 7.18%, and 25.73% respectively. Conversely, countries such as Slovenia and Estonia experienced declines of 2.01% and 0.24%.
