The forecast for Italy's domestic processed output of waste disposed to controlled landfills shows a consistent declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 10.68 million metric tons in 2024, the volume is expected to decrease annually, reaching 7.46 million metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations reveal a steady reduction, with significant drops observed each year. Notably, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is negative, indicating a downward trajectory driven possibly by increased recycling efforts and regulatory policies.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of new legislation on waste management practices, advancements in recycling technologies, and shifts in consumer behavior towards sustainable consumption that may further reduce landfill dependency.
