The effects of ongoing M&A, the biogas boom, and regulatory and financial debates around plastics are among the most complex topics on Waste Dive’s radar in the new year.
What happened
Plastics debates, climate risks, biogas opportunities, fleet developments, environmental justice action and still more M&A: The Waste Dive team is looking ahead to some of the most complex trends that are expected to play out in 2023.
Why it matters
These are among many industry issues with possible inflection points this year. We’ll also continue to focus on broader economic trends, workforce issues, PFAS, the evolution of organics recycling and other important topics.
We invite you to share your thoughts on these trends, or highlight other issues you’ll be following, via email at waste.dive.editors@industrydive.com. Please also join us for a live, virtual event on Jan. 24 to hear from top industry executives and policy experts about what they’re focusing on in the new year.
The waste industry’s multiyear acquisition trend is expected to continue into 2023 for many of the same reasons that have been driving it to date. Labor and supply chain challenges, exacerbated by the pandemic, have made it harder for smaller operators to keep up. Plus, increasing numbers of private equity buyers or investment funds driven by ESG considerations are looking to expand in a recession-resilient market.
