Market Overview
Legislative Pressure Drives Outsourcing of Waste Management
Imminent deadlines to comply with government regulations on waste disposal have led to increased outsourcing of waste services in Europe. 'The EU Landfill Directive, in this respect, is one of the most powerful tools that has driven market demand, supported technological advances and encouraged investment in the waste outsourcing services market,' notes the analyst of this study. 'Although landfill continues to remain a significant option, a move towards safe disposal of waste has led to steady investments in outsourcing onsite waste management to specialist service providers.'
Onsite waste treatment facilities are increasingly being developed as legislative pressure mounts in Europe owing to a shift away from disposal on landfills. The waste management services market has been positively influenced by the steady demand for treatment equipment and waste management specialists. The ban on landfill in some advanced countries including Scandinavia and Germany has led to a related increase in demand for onsite treatment.
Rising Waste Volumes Combined with Cost Benefits of Integrated Waste Management to Boost Outsourcing
Rapid industrialisation, especially in the south, central and east European regions, has resulted in rising waste volumes, which now need to be effectively managed. Growing public concerns and bad press for incineration, Not in My Back Yard (NIMBY) and Not in My Electoral Term (NIMET) syndrome have all impacted this market significantly. The demand for waste management services has risen overall and gradually shifted towards encouraging the development of complete waste management as a one-stop solution.
'Developed markets such as the United Kingdom, France and Germany have witnessed increased demand for advanced solutions that can cater to demand for materials recovery and promote efficiency,' explains the analyst. 'In addition, demand for integrated waste management has translated towards the development of facilities that deliver complete on-site water, energy and waste services.'
