EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

MSI believe that the UK market for solid controlled waste arising from the domestic, industrial, commercial and construction & demolition sectors increased by 1 percent during 2000 to reach a total volume of 176 million tonnes. However, this represents a slower rate of growth than in previous years.

During 2000, the largest proportion of waste was generated by the construction & demolition sectors. Indeed, construction & demolition accounted for 39 percent of the total volume of solid controlled waste arising. Industrial waste commanded 30 percent of total waste arising while domestic waste and commercial waste accounted for 16 percent and 15 percent respectively. However, the commercial sector experienced the most significant rate of growth throughout the review period.

MSI believe that the growth in the volume of solid controlled waste arising between 1996 and 2000 is largely attributable to a number of factors, which include:

However, other factors affect the volume of solid controlled waste within the UK, notably government strategy for waste reduction and the resultant legislation. Indeed, the volume of solid controlled waste is believed to be falling due to a number of different targets put in place by the government.

MSI forecast that the total volume of solid controlled waste arising from construction & demolition, industrial, commercial and domestic sectors will start decreasing by 2003, mainly due to the effects of waste minimisation programmes.

Private contractors are believed to have increased their market share in the collection of waste from all sectors. This is a reflection of the high number of acquisitions of direct service organisations by private contractors and the resulting high degree of consolidation within the industry.

During 2000 it is estimated that 73 percent of solid controlled waste arising from the industrial, domestic, commercial and construction & demolition sectors was disposed of at landfill sites throughout the UK. There has been a slight reduction in the amount of waste disposed of at landfill due to companies, particularly within the construction & demolition and industrial sectors, attempting to avoid landfill costs, not least because of the increases in landfill taxes.

There has been an increase in the amount of waste incinerated during 2000. Indeed, the popularity of energy from waste has increased along with the government's aim to increase the value recovered from waste and the increases in landfill charges. MSI strongly believe that incineration as a method of producing energy from waste will continue to increase throughout the forecast period and will therefore be one of the most popular methods of waste recovery. Furthermore, energy from waste is expected to be one of the principal means by which the government will achieve the targets set out in 'Waste Strategy 2000.'

It is believed that the volume of waste reclaimed during 2000 increased to 19 percent of the total volume of solid controlled waste. This increase in reclamation is principally due to companies diverting waste away from landfill so as to avoid paying costs, the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 1997 and an increase in the number of recycling campaigns aimed at households, for example, 'Are you doing your bit?'
