In 2023, the municipal waste amount designated for recovery operations in France was slightly below the forecasted 2024 figure of 28.56 million metric tons. The forecasted data indicates a steady rise in the recovery operations volume, with a year-on-year increase of around 0.85% from 2024 to 2025, and approximately 0.80% from 2025 to 2026. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is projected at 0.81%, demonstrating a gradual upward trend over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include:
