The growing emphasis on waste reduction targets is expected to drive the expansion of the environmental health and safety market. A waste reduction target is a specific objective set by governments, organizations, or individuals to reduce the volume of waste generated, disposed of, or sent to landfills within a set period. The heightened focus on waste reduction is driven by increasing global awareness of the need to address environmental degradation and move toward a more sustainable, circular economy. These targets align with ecological health and safety goals by aiming to reduce pollution, minimize hazardous waste production, and protect ecosystems and human health, while promoting sustainable waste management practices. For example, in September 2024, gov.uk, a UK-based information website, reported that in 2022, the UK sent 6.3 million tons of biodegradable municipal waste to landfills, with England responsible for 81% of this total. In that year, England alone generated 5.1 million tons of biodegradable waste sent to landfills. Thus, the increased focus on waste reduction targets is fostering the growth of the environmental health and safety market.
