The forecast for France's imports of copper, aluminium, and nickel waste from outside the EU27 shows a clear downward trend from 2024 to 2028, with values declining from 58.25 million Euros in 2024 to only 8.3 million Euros by 2028. This represents a year-on-year reduction, indicating a substantial contraction in the market over this five-year period. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years reveals a significant negative trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes within the EU regarding waste imports, fluctuating demand for recycled metals due to economic conditions or technological advancements, and increased focus on sustainability and circular economy practices, which may further influence the volume of waste imports.
