Study Overview
Waste management encompasses all activities linked to the treatment of waste on a regional scale. This market study covers all operations, from waste collection to storage or disposal, including transport, sorting and recycling. Worldwide, the waste management market is growing. It is driven by two distinct factors:
On the one hand, growth in the world's population and rising average living standardsare leading to an increase in the amount of waste per capita. This is a quantitative trend that is taking place mainly in emerging countries. On the other hand, the problems of recycling and reusing waste are becoming more pressing, even though their environmental impact is well known and many countries have banned waste imports, such as China in 2020.
