  country and where possible region. Key focus on most recent and significant legislation

• Key focus on development of new waste treatment, recycling & disposal infrastructure  – identifying existing facilities and current capacity and projects in the pipeline -  plant size, location, operator or developer and date of opening: - material recovery facilities (MRFs), mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plants, in-vessel composting (IVC), anaerobic digestion (AD) plants, energy-from-waste (EfW) incineration, commercial autoclaves and advanced thermal treatment (ATT) plants i.e. gasification and pyrolysis.

• Contractor profiles – major national and regional general contractors, hazardous waste management specialists, clinical waste management providers, composting specialists and construction & demolition waste specialists. Analysis of key trends, e.g. acquisitions, mergers and consolidation.

The need to minimise 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, with the new Coalition government stating that it is committed to sustaining the development of alternatives to landfill disposal. Although there have been significant improvements in recycling and energy recovery, the UK still remains behind many other EU states with regard to sustainable waste management. Despite the impact of the recession on industry performance in 2009, the potential for industry growth and the development of a new and sustainable waste management infrastructure is substantial.
