The forecast for the road freight volume in the non-hazardous waste collection sector in France shows a significant decline from 460,000 journeys in 2024 to just 41,000 journeys by 2028. This represents successive year-on-year declines, projecting an overall reduction of approximately 91% over this forecast period.
Between 2023 (actual) and 2024 forecast, volumes remain constant, suggesting a stabilization before dramatic reductions. Following year-on-year, the declines are consistently sharp which indicates significant structural changes or shifts in the sector, potentially driven by regulatory impacts, technological change, or shifts in waste management practices.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of increased recycling and circular economy initiatives reducing waste collection needs.
- Adoption of advanced waste processing technologies minimizing non-hazardous waste.
- Regulatory changes and enhanced sustainability goals influencing collection dynamics.
