European Non-Renewable Waste Available for Final Consumption Share by Country (Thousand Tonnes Of Oil Equivalent)

As of 2023, Germany leads in non-renewable waste consumption at 23.89 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, followed by Poland at 13.74 and France at 8.85. Despite its dominance, Germany saw a minor increase of 0.69%. In contrast, Hungary and Croatia experienced substantial growths of 10.8% and 23.94% respectively. Poland and the Netherlands showed declines, with the latter at -7.43%. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) suggests mixed trends over five years, with individual countries exhibiting varied dynamics in non-renewable waste consumption.

Future trends to monitor include the impact of policy shifts towards sustainability and renewable energies across Europe, which could alter the consumption landscape substantially. Additionally, technological advancements in waste-to-energy processes may influence the reliance on non-renewable waste in specific regions.
