EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The UK waste management market is facing substantial changes as a result of EU Directives and consequential UK legislation. There will be a more integrated approach to waste management with an increase in recycling, composting and incineration. The degree to which incineration takes place will depend on the success of establishing recycling facilities and infrastructure. Key Note estimates that, in 2000, the market was worth £4.54bn, with total waste arisings of 424 million tonnes. Important sources of waste arisings were agriculture, construction, minerals extraction and industrial waste.

This report analyses the market by specific types of material, metals, sewage sludge, paper and board, glass, plastics, tyres, textiles, packaging, electrical and electronic equipment, batteries, and end-of-life vehicles. There is also an analysis of local authority activities for municipal waste services.

Profiles are given for waste management companies, including Biffa Waste Services Ltd, Shanks Group PLC, SITA Holdings UK Ltd, Onyx Environmental Group PLC, Cleanaway Ltd and Waste Recycling Group PLC.

Current issues facing the industry include:

• Landfill — for example, restrictions on biodegradable municipal waste,
  co-disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, tyres and liquid waste
• Recycling — by 2005, industrial and commercial waste sent to landfill should reach 85 percent of the 1998 level, while 40 percent of municipal waste should be recovered along with 25 percent of household waste
• Incineration — various scenarios are taking place, with up to 166 incinerators being required to achieve government waste strategy targets
• End of life vehicles — the recycling of vehicles is an issue, with a possible implementation date of 2007
• Electrical and electronic waste — the recycling of products is being targeted, with a possible implementation date of 2006
• Taxation — Landfill Tax is now in place and an Aggregate Tax is proposed for implementation by 2002.

Key Note estimates that the market for waste management will grow from £4.95bn in 2001 to £7.25bn in 2005, provided that funding is available to enable waste strategy targets to be reached.
