Market Research - Waste Management Market - UK 2008 - 2012  from AMA Research

INTRODUCTION and OVERVIEW 

On the 25th August 2008, AMA Research will publish the 5th edition of its Waste Management Market – UK 2008-2012 report. This 2008 edition has been completely revised and restructured, providing around 100 charts and tables; greater in-depth analysis of waste management relating to the municipal, commercial & industrial and construction & demolition sectors; an analysis of trends in waste collection, waste treatment, landfill, incineration and hazardous waste management including quantification of current infrastructure & new developments; up-to-date reviews of the latest legislation: separate analyses of England, Wales, Scotland & N Ireland, a much expanded section on contractors.

With 150 pages and 80+ charts and tables this report includes:- 

• UK Waste Management Market - size, trends, key influences, analysis of total market by value and volume and by main sectors i.e. municipal; commercial & industrial, construction & demolition for each of the four home nations. Also, an assessment of the mining & quarrying, agricultural and sewage sludge sectors. Key focus on the most recent and most significant legislation e.g. Mining Waste Directive, Agricultural Waste Regulations, Site Waste Management Plans.

• Waste collection, waste treatment, landfill & incineration – separate analyses for each of these sectors identifying trends in capacities, volumes deposited and forecast capacities to 2011. Identification of leading operators. Key focus on material recovery facilities (MRFs), mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plants, in-vessel composting and other new technologies e.g. gasification, pyrolysis and autoclaving.

• Waste Management Contractors – major national, regional and specialist contractors, company profiles and market shares. Analysis of key trends, e.g. acquisitions, mergers and consolidation.

• Analysis of waste arisings & recovery for priority product and materials waste streams including plastics, glass, electrical & electronic equipment, hazardous materials, glass, wood, food, paper & board.

The need to minimize waste arisings and the volumes sent to landfill and the urgent need to increase recovery and recycling levels has rapidly risen up the national agenda. Underpinning this are a large number of EU Directives, UK regulations and the general realisation that the UK still remains behind many other EU nations with regard to a sustainable approach to consumption and disposal. Combining and collating the most recent information, this report presents a detailed review of the current state of waste management in the UK in terms of the key market drivers, waste arisings, disposal & recovery methods, industry infrastructure and capacity.

Areas of particular interest:

• Detailed analysis of waste arisings by origin, key product & material streams.

• Detailed assessment of waste collection, treatment, landfill & incineration infrastructure – trends in capacities, waste deposits and key operators.

• Key focus on new treatment technologies and recovery/recycling facilities.

• Analysis of the waste management industry - review of contractors that goes beyond the leading national operators.
