Stringent mandates toward reducing emissions, focus on sustainability and waste reduction and growing environmental concerns, stimulating the business outlook. Governments are introducing mandates that require commercial establishments to decrease their solid waste output, significantly influencing the industry dynamics. For instance, in September 2024, The Environmental Protection Agency unveiled a USD 58 million funding opportunity through its Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling (SWIFR) grant program. This initiative aims to boost local government capabilities in handling post-consumer materials. The SWIFR grants will support improvements in waste and recycling management infrastructure, helping communities reduce their environmental impact.
