The forecast for paper and cardboard waste intra-EU28 imports to France shows a gradual decline from 803.44 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 790.79 thousand metric tons in 2028. Compared to 2023's actual value, this forecast indicates a consistent decreasing trend. Year-on-year variations highlight a decline of around 0.3%-0.5% annually during the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period indicates a slight negative growth trend, reflecting a modest downward trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in EU waste management policies, technological advancements in recycling processes, and changes in the demand for recycled materials, which could impact import patterns to France. Additionally, any economic or environmental regulations within the EU could influence waste trade dynamics.
