Growth Opportunities in the Polish Waste Management Market
Frost & Sullivan, March 2011, Pages: 83
Compliance with EU Directives Supports Market Growth
The Polish waste management market is at a growth stage. Large international market participants as well as public waste management companies are driving the development of better waste solutions. Even though there are many private market participants with state-of-the-art technology, the Polish market requires more investments in waste treatment infrastructure in order to better and more efficiently direct waste away from landfills.
“Growth is being driven by Poland’s need for compliance with the EU waste directives, which require more efficient and environmentally safe waste management,” notes the analyst of this research. “Available EU funds will facilitate the shift in developing better waste treatment facilities, which will directly and incrementally allow Poland to better meet the EU directive requirements.” Investments in municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment facilities, and in particular recycling services of MSW, are projected to present the most lucrative growth opportunities over the long term. The treatment of MSW, through incineration, is viewed as a source of energy generation, while biological treatment and recycling allow MSW to be reused in various other ways. Increased treatment, therefore, will alleviate landfills and allow waste to be treated more efficiently and safely.
Rapid Infrastructural Development Critical to Driving Market Growth and Promoting Compliance
The main market restraints are frequent legal changes and the market’s slow adoption of EU directives. As a result of confusing laws, market participants often find themselves operating temporarily in the informal market, while public administration takes time to comply with the new changes. The slow adoption of EU directives results in severe financial penalties. In addition, more technology-driven investments are necessary to quicken the pace of compliance. “It is critical for the MSW segment to quicken the pace of waste treatment infrastructural development,” advises the analyst. “Such an improvement will drive growth in the segment, and allow Poland to better meet environmental and waste regulations.”
As the market for MSW develops, it is important for participants to offer technology-based waste treatment solutions, as such treatment approaches are more efficient than landfill disposal, hitherto the most popular method of MSW disposal. Such a push would drive the transition to a more structured and developed market, resembling Western European waste management markets. “International waste management companies are best positioned to facilitate the development of efficient MSW treatment solutions due to superior technology and financial capabilities, as well as adequate market know-how combined with past experience,” remarks the analyst.
