In 2023, Hungary led the European non-renewable industrial waste imports with 1.15 thousand gigawatthours, showing a significant 20.02% year-on-year increase. Portugal followed with 0.38999, experiencing a modest rise of 1.58%. Slovakia, Latvia, Cyprus, and Estonia recorded imports of 0.15639, 0.08019, 0.00474, and 0.00449 respectively, with yearly changes of 6.55%, 3.62%, and stability in Cyprus and Estonia. Over a five-year span, the compound annual growth rate notably influences future projections.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Potential shifts in regulatory frameworks affecting non-renewable waste trade.
- Technological advances in waste processing potentially affecting import reliance.
- Economic factors influencing import levels across different European countries.
- Increased emphasis on renewable alternatives possibly reducing non-renewable waste imports.
