The transport volume for secondary raw materials, municipal, and other wastes in Germany is projected to decline from 24.0 million tonne kilometers in 2024 to 15.0 million tonne kilometers by 2028. This forecasted decrease represents a substantial year-on-year reduction, averaging a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around -10.5% over the five-year period. Compared to 2023, when the volume stood at 26.0 million tonne kilometers, this trend signifies ongoing contraction in the sector.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of Germany's recycling policies, technological advancements in waste management, and potential economic or regulatory shifts that might affect the efficiency and volume of waste transport operations.
