In 2023, the total Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycled and prepared for reuse in Sweden stood at 81.7 units. Moving into the forecasted period, we observe a gradual decline in the values year-on-year: from 81.5 in 2024 to 80.4 in 2028. This represents a minor decreasing trend of approximately 0.4-0.5% annually. Specifically:
- From 2024 (81.5) to 2025 (81.2), the variation is -0.4%.
- From 2025 (81.2) to 2026 (80.9), the variation is -0.4%.
- From 2026 (80.9) to 2027 (80.7), the variation is -0.3%.
- From 2027 (80.7) to 2028 (80.4), the variation is -0.4%.
Over the last two years, the average yearly decrease (CAGR) in total WEEE recycled and prepared for reuse is around -0.4%, indicating a consistent though slight downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in recycling technology, regulatory changes, and shifts in consumer behavior towards the disposal of electronic and electrical equipment. These factors could potentially alter the current trend and either stabilize or increase the volume of waste being recycled and reused.
