In 2023, the loaded international container transport volume of secondary raw materials, municipal, and other wastes in Germany stood at 13.0 Million Tonne Kilometers. Looking ahead, forecasts suggest a notable decline from 11 Million Tonne Kilometers in 2024 to 5 Million Tonne Kilometers by 2028, reflecting a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -15.65%. Year-on-year decreases display a consistent downtrend, signaling tightening regulations or shifts in waste management practices.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Sustainability initiatives impacting waste and raw material logistics.
- Technological innovations in waste reduction and recycling methods.
- Legislative changes in environmental policies affecting waste exports.
