In 2023, Germany's consumption of non-renewable municipal waste was lower than the projected figures for the following years, indicating a gradual increase. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted consumption increases steadily each year, starting from 24.43 Thousand Terajoules in 2024 to 26.63 Thousand Terajoules in 2028. This reflects an approximate compound annual growth rate suggesting moderate growth in the consumption of non-renewable municipal waste over this period.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in waste processing that might impact consumption rates.
Policy changes towards sustainability and waste reduction could alter projected trends.
Potential shifts towards renewable resources impacting non-renewable waste dynamics.
