In 2023, the re-import of copper and copper alloy waste or scrap to France stood at 1.4 million kilograms. Forecasted data for 2024 suggests a 11.20% decrease year-on-year, with a decreasing trend continuing through 2028. By 2028, the volume is expected to drop to 0.62458 million kilograms, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -13.52% over the period from 2023 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of global copper market fluctuations on re-import volumes and France’s domestic recycling policies affecting demand for imported scrap. Additionally, shifts towards sustainable practices may alter supply chain dynamics in the copper and copper alloys sector.
