The forecast for the import of polystyrene waste or scrap to Germany shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at 27.37 million kilograms in 2024 and expected to reach 28.906 million kilograms by 2028. Assuming there was no significant gap from 2023 to 2024, this reflects a continued upward trend, where yearly growth varies slightly yet consistently.
Year-on-year growth percentages are subtle, marking a gradual increase. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be modest, indicating consistent but not explosive growth.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in recycling, regulatory changes, or shifts in demand for recycled materials, which could influence these forecasts. The pressure to increase sustainability might also expedite a shift in import dynamics.
