The analysis of IT hardware waste recycled and prepared for reuse in France from 2013 to 2028 reveals key trends. The data shows an increase in recycling values until 2015, then a gradual decline through 2023 from a peak of 83.7 units in 2015 to 72.8 units in 2023. Year-on-year variation exhibited fluctuations: significant declines in 2017 and 2018, followed by moderate decreases from 2019 to 2023.
The last five years saw a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) hovering around zero, reflecting stagnation. Forecasts for 2024-2028 predict a continuous decline, with an average downturn of 0.56% CAGR, indicating further reduction in recycling rates to 70.3 units by 2028.
Future trends to watch for include innovations in recycling technology, regulatory changes promoting sustainability, and industry shifts towards circular economy practices that may reverse or mitigate the declining recycling trends.
