In 2023, total municipal waste in Germany was measured at 603.72 kilograms per capita. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a gradual decline in municipal waste generation. Specifically, the values are projected to decrease from 602.88 kg per capita in 2024 to 599.33 kg per capita by 2028. This equates to a year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.15% to 0.17% within this period, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averaging around -0.18% over the five-year span.
Future trends to watch for include increased recycling and waste reduction initiatives, advancements in waste management technology, and shifts in consumer behavior towards sustainability, which could further influence these projections.
