Earlier Report Observations

The cocoa waste market in Slovenia began at 4 830 kg in 2018, supported by the government's adoption of a Roadmap towards the circular economy, which promoted waste-to-resource business models through initiatives like the CINDERELA project. Continued emphasis on these policies in 2019 helped maintain the market volume at 4 869 kg. However, in 2020, the market experienced a significant contraction, dropping to 2 280 kg.

Recovery started in 2021, with the market rising to 2 761 kg as Slovenia's waste management and circular economy policies, including a focus on bio-waste collection and composting, remained in place. Growth accelerated in 2022, reaching 3 870 kg, partly influenced by minimal growth in the confectionery sector and consumer shifts toward healthier snacks, which affected cocoa product demand. By 2023, the market expanded further to 4 652 kg, aided by the updated National Energy and Climate Plan that encouraged innovation and waste heat utilization in industrial processes.
