Policies2Platforms Drives Investment for Deploying Advanced Processes to Enhance Efficiency and Productivity

In this study, the publisher analyzes North America's material recovery facilities (MRFs). MRFs are integral to the well-organized circular economy, acting as the intermediary processing step between waste collection and reuse/recycling. This means they play a vital role in the solid waste management value chain by processing recyclable materials to sell to recyclers or manufacturers of new products.

The revenue forecast refers to the combined capital and operating expenditure (CAPEX and OPEX) of MRF operators across North America, with CAPEX share divided by new-build and refurbishment projects.

The publisher based the growth analysis on the 6P framework, comprising Policies, Products, Processes, People, Partnerships, and Platforms. The report also includes a detailed competitive analysis of major MRF operators, with examples of key growth accelerators and companies to watch. The study concludes by thoroughly analyzing the top three growth opportunities for the North American MRF market.
