The data on municipal waste incineration with energy recovery in the Netherlands from 2013 to 2023 indicates a notable trend of gradual decline in volume, from 4.2 million metric tons in 2013 to 3.62 million metric tons in 2023. The year-on-year variations show a mix of slight declines and occasional increases, with a noticeable drop in 2020 followed by minor fluctuations. Over the past five years, the average year-on-year variation (CAGR) has been relatively stable at -0.25%, showing a leveling off after a period of more substantial decreases.
Future trends to watch for include potential technological innovation in waste processing, changes in regulatory policies, and shifts towards more sustainable waste management practices. These factors could influence the volume of waste incineration with energy recovery, with incremental improvements projected over the next five years.
