A Year of Continuing Digitalization, Ambitious Sustainability Goals, and Innovative Technologies Is Tempered by Reaction to the COVID-19 Pandemic

A sustainable future requires a holistic approach across the entire waste management system. Responding quickly to market fluctuations, redefining growth, investing in innovative solutions and technologies, and focusing on long-term benefits can turn market challenges into business opportunities. Sustainability-minded enterprises and consumers are the key to tackle the global waste crisis. Maximization of resources and a focus on circularity of materials and products supported by green factories and zero-waste consumers, cities, and industries will help to strike a balance between environmental protection and financial gains.

The study focuses on the global waste recycling market across following market segments: municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial waste, hazardous waste, WEEE, construction & demolition waste, and plastic packaging waste. The waste recycling market covers the process of sorting waste and turning it into a valuable resource for a more sustainable future while creating business opportunities for market participants.

Topics include sustainability practices, zero waste and the circular economy, greater penetration of digital technologies in smart waste management and innovations, the new plastic economy, tackling global food waste, waste to energy, reuse and recycling of waste EV batteries, limiting the impact of fast fashion, and working together for climate action.
