As of mid-2025, the waste-based feedstocks market for biofuels in Europe and Asia is experiencing a mix of stability and pressure, shaped by regional dynamics, policy shifts, and changes in global trade flows.

While Asia remains the largest supplier of waste and residue feedstocks to the US and EU, the market is becoming more competitive due to rising production of HVO and SAF in the region. Europe faces prices volatility due to limited availability of certified waste-based feedstocks, rising global competition for the same feedstocks, and more.
