In 2023, Italy's re-import of waste or scrap of paper and paperboard, particularly bleached chemical pulp, stood at a certain level, and forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest a steady increase. Starting from 5.79 thousand kilograms in 2024, there is a consistent year-on-year growth, reaching 6.03 thousand kilograms by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a modest upward trend over this five-year period.
Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include:
- Changes in recycling regulations in the EU that can impact demand.
- Technological innovations in recycling affecting efficiency.
- Economic shifts influencing the price and demand for recycled materials.
