Between 2014 and 2024, the municipal waste recycled or composted in Canada exhibits a steady growth trajectory. Actual data highlights a rise from 27.83 units in 2014 to a predicted 30.19 units in 2024. The year-on-year growth has generally decelerated, with initial figures around 2.41% tapering to 0.83% by 2023. However, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflects a consistent increase, though it too shows a slight declining trend from 1.89% initially to an average of 0.89% in recent years.

Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 anticipate continued but modest growth, with a forecasted 5-year growth rate of 3.04% and a forecasted 5-year CAGR of 0.6%, suggesting a deceleration in expansion. By 2028, the treated waste value is projected to reach 31.11 units.

Future Trends to Watch For:

Implementation of new recycling technologies and policies that could boost growth rates.
Increased public awareness and participation in recycling programs influencing volume changes.
Potential economic or environmental changes that may impact waste management strategies and targets.
