Analysis of Municipal Waste Sites and Landfills in the United States
Corporate Development Associates, Aug 2005, Pages: 52
The purpose of this report is to present our findings about the status of landfill mining in the United States and to and to assist potential market participants in analyzing the potential for this market.
In order to fully assess not only the viability of entering thismarket, but the opportunities for growth this market offers, a number of factors needed to be evaluated. Included in this evaluation are such factors as the generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the US, the trends in the number of US MSW sites, applicable federal and state regulations, key participants in the MSW treatment and disposal business, current and recent landfill mining projects, and the views of experts on the opportunities for such endeavors.
Finally, based on extensive research and interviewing of industry experts, CDA has postulated a barrier analysis assessing the feasibility of entering this business andwhat the major obstacles are.
Sources of information and data for this analysis were reports issues by the Environmental Protection Agency, state governments, trade publications, investment analysts reports, technical articles, as well as interviews with trade personnel and waste management experts. It is interesting to note that while current data about the status of waste management in the US is plentiful, extensive writing about landfill mining per se ended in 1997, coincidental with the enactment of the Clean Air Act which included regulations regarding landfills.
