Regional Commercial and Industrial Waste Management Market Report - UK 2011-2015

Countries covered: United Kingdom AMA Research are pleased to announce the publication of the 1st edition of the report: “Regional Commercial and Industrial Waste Management Market Report - UK 2011-2015 Analysis”. Containing nearly 100 pages and over 75 charts and tables, this report provides an assessment of C & I waste arisings and management at both national and regional levels. In the last decade the focus of government and the waste management industry had been on reducing the amount of household waste being landfilled and increasing the amount being recovered and recycled. Following the 2011 publication of the second DEFRA report on C & I waste management there is to be an increased drive to reduce the landfilling of C & I waste and increase recycling levels. As well as a UK overview, there are individual chapters on each of the 9 regions in England plus Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each section comprises a brief profile of the regions economies; waste arisings by economic sector and by waste types; methods of C & I waste; dry waste and food waste recycling infrastructure and identification of leading contractors in each region. This report pulls together national & regional surveys on C & I waste arisings and management plus a large amount of original input, with the focus primarily on C & I waste arisings and management in the regions. The aim of this report is to go beyond analysis at a UK level to highlight the marked differences between the regions re: their economic infrastructure and hence the variations in the mix of waste arisings. Moreover, while national contractors dominate the MSW / household waste market, the C & I waste management sector is considerably more fragmented. Because of the need to reduce landfilling C & I waste and increase recycling, a key focus of the regional sections is on dry waste and food waste treatment, identifying current and planned MRF and anaerobic digestion capacity. Areas of particular interest: Regional assessments including Scotland Wales and N. Ireland - charts & tables illustrating summary of regions’ economies, details of waste arisings, methods of waste management, MRF and food waste treatment capacity. Also identify leading waste collection contractors. Appendix listing the leading 150 contractors in the C & I waste management sector - indicating estimated C & I waste management turnovers and core geographical areas of operation. Some of the companies featured include: Biffa Waste Services, Bywaters, Countrystyle Group, DS Smith Recycling, Environmental Waste Controls, F & R Cawley, Grundon Waste Management, HW Martin Waste, Powerday, SCA Recycling, Shanks UK, SITA UK, Veolia Environmental Waste Services, Viridor Waste Management, Waste Recycling Group, Wastecare, William Tracey.

Also, identification of national and larger regional contractors providing C & I waste collection services. Where appropriate, evaluation of existing and proposed anaerobic digestion and in vessel composting capacity and names of operators. APPENDICES Appendices 1 and 2 - more detailed data on waste arisings in Scotland and Wales Appendix 3 - listing of over 150 general waste management contractors operating in the commercial & industrial waste management sector, estimates of C & I turnover and indications of regional activity.

Additional Information

AMA Research has published a wide range of reports covering waste management and renewable energy markets though this is the first edition to provide a detailed assessment of the Commercial & Industrial Waste Management Sector.

During the last decade the focus of Central Government and DEFRA agencies, such as WRAP, had been on reducing the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) and biodegradable municipal waste (BMW) being landfilled. Unlike MSW/BMW, there have been no legislative/regulatory requirements for businesses to reduce waste and increase recycling levels, with the Landfill Tax accelerator the only fiscal incentive. However, many large corporations have undertaken voluntary initiatives, largely underpinned by high public profiles and the need to be seen to be taking action.

From 2010, the focus of Government and WRAP has been shifting towards reducing waste arisings and increasing recycling in the C& I sector. However, a key barrier to this has been a lack of regular and robust data on C & I waste arisings and management, a factor that is largely due to the highly fragmented nature of the C & I sector.

DEFRA’s first survey of C & I waste arisings in England was for the year 2002/03, but more than seven years had lapsed when the second survey was published in 2011. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has carried out more regular surveys of business waste arisings but there is limited data on the management of C & I waste. Two surveys have also been carried out on C & I waste arisings and management in Wales, but the most recent only relates to 2007. A couple of studies have also been published on C & I waste management in Northern Ireland, the most recent relating to 2008.

This AMA report pulls together the data from all these surveys but also provides a large amount of original research based upon company credit data, regional waste management studies, information from a wide range of independent /non-government sources, the national environment agencies, regional development agencies and waste management company websites.

The focus of this report is less on providing a UK overview than providing an analysis of C & I waste arisings and management in each of the regions in England and the other three home nations. This is primarily because the economic profiles of each of the regions are distinct from one another and consequently the waste mixes differ as do the approaches to managing waste. For example, in rural areas there are generally higher levels of organic waste arisings and the use of anaerobic digestion and composting as treatment methods. In some industrialised regions there are large chemicals works that require treatments in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Directive. Moreover, while a few large waste management companies have nationwide coverage, most 2nd tier contractors operate at a regional or local level.

In reviewing waste management approaches in reach of the regions the focus is on dry waste recycling and food waste treatment as these are the preferred methods for dealing with C & I waste. Not included are activities such as plastics, metals or WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) reprocessing.
