In 2023, Germany's import of polyethylene waste or scrap stood at a preliminary value before transitioning into forecasted data for 2024 onward. The forecast indicates a steady year-on-year increase: 227.02 million kilograms in 2024, progressing to 242.35 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a consistent upward trend in import volume.
Year-on-year percentage variations highlight modest incremental growth, with each year seeing a slight increase in imports, reflecting economic and regulatory changes possibly favoring waste processing capacities. Furthermore, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) projected over the 5-year period suggests stable growth momentum.
Future trends to watch include environmental policies impacting trade regulations, technological advancements in recycling processes, and any economic shifts within the EU, which could alter demand or import regulations for polyethylene waste materials.
