Municipal Solid Waste Management Market Trends

The municipal solid waste management industry is set to grow owing to significant advancements in waste-to-energy technology along with shifting focus toward solid waste disposal to enhance the quality of life. These innovations allow for substantial reduction in waste volume, with some plants capable of converting large amounts of garbage into a fraction of its original weight in ash, complementing the industry landscape. Efforts to educate communities about the health and quality-of-life improvements associated with proper waste management will drive the industry growth. For instance, in June 2024, The EU members voted for the revision of waste framework directive, introducing binding reduction targets for food waste and implements an extended producer responsibility system for textiles.
