Sintesi

The global waste management market, valued at $1,612.0 billion in 2020, is projected to reach $2,483.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.4 percent from 2021. In 2020, 2.01 billion tons of waste were generated worldwide, with significant contributions from North America and European countries like Canada, which produces an estimated annual waste of 1,325,480,289 metric tons or 36.1 metric tons per capita, and Bulgaria with an estimated 26.7 metric tons per capita. The United States, generating 258 million tons of municipal solid waste in 2017, is also a major contributor. Waste generation is expected to increase by 70% to 3.40 billion tons by 2050, with sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia projected to account for 35% of the global total.

Only 13.5% of waste is currently recycled globally, and this issue is being addressed by international organizations like the World Bank, which allocated over $4.7 billion between 2000 and 2018 to manage waste more effectively. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted waste generation in Italy, with a decrease of over one million tons in 2020, leading to 28.9 million tons of national municipal waste. Italy also saw changes in its import-export dynamics, with increases in both imported (21.6% up from 2019) and exported waste (13% up from 2019). Special waste generation in Italy also saw a rise between 2018 and 2019, mainly non-hazardous waste from construction and demolition. Overall, the waste management sector is evolving with innovation and sectoral convergence aimed at promoting the circular economy and addressing the global increase in waste production.

Italian Waste Management Market Trends and Analysis

The Italian waste management market is a rapidly evolving sector experiencing consistent growth in recent years. The proliferation of waste, driven by increased consumption and the adoption of more capitalist models by developing countries, has significantly impacted waste generation. In Italy alone, municipal waste reached around the 30 million ton mark in 2019, with Italian citizens producing about 500 kilograms of waste each annually. Central Italy boasts the heaviest per capita waste generation at about 550 kilograms per inhabitant, closely followed by Northern Italy with around 520 kilograms, and Southern Italy with approximately 450 kilograms. Both the volume of waste and investments in waste management activities have shown an upward trend, with a notable increase of between 5% and 7% in waste managed and over 4% in investments recorded in 2019.

With regard to the Italian market, we observe a promising trend in waste recycling and separate collection activities, expected to offset the surge in waste production. This is partly due to innovations aimed at enhancing the recycling capabilities of waste management companies and sectoral convergence towards a circular economy model. When breaking down the types of waste generated, special waste stands out with around 154 million tons produced in Italy in 2020.

Most notably, non-hazardous waste forms the bulk of this, primarily from construction and demolition activities, attributing to almost half of the total special waste. The waste management services have also seen a shift in turnover, notably in collection and treatment/disposal services, which rang up billions of euros in revenue. Waste exports and imports in Italy reflect an intricate picture, with a majority of exports composed of mechanically treated waste and solid secondary fuel while importing predominantly glass and plastic waste. Italy appears to be an active participant in the global waste management trade. The rapid growth in the production of special waste, particularly from construction and demolition, places Italy at a crossroads, necessitating robust management and recycling strategies.

Riepilogo ed estratti

1 Market Summary

1.1 Definition and presentation

The term "waste management" refers to the set of policies, procedures and methodologies by which waste is managed from its generation to its final destination. The different stages involved are: collection, transportation, recycling and disposal.

We distinguish three categories of waste:

-Municipal waste

-Special waste

-Hazardous municipal waste

Globally, the waste management market is growing very rapidly as even developing countries, moving closer to the capitalist model, produce more and more garbage. According to the WAS Report, an annual report by WAS - Waste Strategy, companies involved in waste collection, treatment and disposal recorded an increase in waste managed of 6.4 percent and investments of +4.1 percent in 2019.

As for the Italian market, municipal waste, which accounts for the majority of waste in percentage terms, was about 30 million tons in 2019. Each Italian citizen therefore produced about 500 kilograms of annual waste. With respect to per capita value, the highest average values are in Central - Italy (548 kilograms per inhabitant) compared to the North (518 kilograms per inhabitant) and the South (445 kilograms per inhabitant). At the provincial level, the regions with the highest values are Reggio Emilia, Rimini and Ravenna while the lowest are Potenza and Avellino. On the one hand it is estimated, given the increase in consumption, a positive growth in waste production on the other hand, however, an increase in separate waste collection and recycling activities is expected.

There are two major trends in the waste management sector. The first is innovation that aims to make waste management companies increasingly able to recycle material, and the second is the sectoral convergence of increasing the dialogue between industrial realities and waste management companies with the aim of targeting the circular economy.
