Growth Opportunities in North American Material Recovery Facilities


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

In this study, Frost & Sullivan 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.

Frost & Sullivan 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.

Key Features

The study’s main objective is to analyze investment opportunities in existing and new-build MRFs across North America. The study includes:

Notable investment trends across MRF operators
Market drivers and restraints
A detailed analysis of MRF solutions to support ongoing operational efficiency and processing capacity
Data on the number of MRFs by country in 2023, with forecasts up to 2030
The total volume of materials processed by MRFs and the volume of recovered materials, with the average material recovery rate stated using percentages

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
