Description

U.S. Solid Waste Management Market Summary

The U.S. solid waste management market size was estimated at USD 156.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 247.5 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2025 to 2033. The growth is fueled by increasing urbanization, industrialization, and rising consumer waste.

As population density rises and consumption patterns shift, municipal and industrial waste volumes are growing, requiring more advanced and efficient waste handling systems. Strict environmental regulations from agencies like the EPA are pushing municipalities and private players to invest in sustainable waste practices, including waste-to-energy, recycling, and composting solutions.

Technological advancements such as smart bins, AI-powered optical sorters, and automation are improving operational efficiency and accuracy in waste segregation and material recovery. Public awareness around environmental protection and circular economy practices is also influencing both policy and consumer behavior, driving demand for better waste management infrastructure.

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.
