The forecast for Germany's domestic processed waste disposed to controlled landfills from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent downward trend. Starting at 37.45 million metric tons in 2024, the output declines yearly to reach 26.05 million metric tons by 2028. This marks a significant reduction from 2023 levels, which stood at 40.5 million metric tons. The year-on-year variations highlight a systematic decrease, reflecting Germany's effort towards sustainability and waste management improvements. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years indicates an average annual decline of 7.25%.
Future trends to watch include the potential impacts of policy shifts towards circular economy initiatives, technological advancements in waste processing, and increased efficiency in recycling programs. These factors may further reduce landfill reliance and sustain environmental targets.
