The 11th edition of the Waste Management Market Report UK 2021-2025 has been published by AMA Research. The report represents an informed and up-to-date detailed review of the private waste management contracting sector covering:- household, commercial & industrial, construction & demolition and hazardous waste arisings; the collection, treatment and disposal thereof.
The waste management market continues to evolve quickly in part driven by subject to regular changes in legislation and definition. This 11th edition includes activities under the general SIC 2007 code 38.30, ‘Material Recovery’ because waste management companies are increasingly diversifying away from traditional waste management functions – such as general refuse collection and landfill disposal – towards recycling, from collection to waste segregation, sorting and baling to producing intermediate products such as glass cullet, plastic flakes.
This report includes an analysis of the industry with an assessment of future prospects; a review of waste arisings by origin, material type and end product; a review of current and prospective legislation; and an assessment of collection, disposal and recovery issues. Along with a detailed examination of government strategies, initiatives and funds that impact upon the waste management industry.
For the UK waste management contracting industry, growth in contractors’ output was marginal, reaching £9.8bn in 2019. Anecdotal evidence suggests the pandemic has had a substantial effect on non-household waste arisings and hence demand for waste management services. To some extent, this has been offset by an increase in domestic waste arisings. For 2020, it is estimated, contracting output will possibly have fallen to around £9.3bn.
Key issues covered in the report:
- An assessment of the effect of Covid-19 on the market in the short to medium term.
- The significance of the UK’s departure from the EU and the substitutes for EU Directives; expansion of extended producer responsibility programmes; Contracts for Difference replacing renewable energy subsidy schemes
- Growth in privately funded waste management infrastructure.
Areas of particular interest include:
- Recent and forecast major expansion of ‘mass burn’ energy-from waste incineration capacity; growth in anerobic digestion capacity; steady growth in gasification infrastructure
- Growth of ‘insourcing’ of waste collection services among local authorities.
- Substantial consolidation within the waste management contracting sector.
