EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

MSI estimate that the UK market for solid controlled waste arising from the industrial, commercial, domestic, construction & demolition sectors increased to 172 million tonnes in 1998. The volume of solid controlled waste generated in the UK is believed to have increased continuously between 1994 and 1998.

Waste arising from the construction and demolition sectors represented the largest proportion of waste generated in 1998. Industrial waste represented 31 percent of solid controlled waste arising and the domestic sector some 15 percent. The commercial sector represented the smallest proportion of total solid waste generated in 1998. However, the volume of waste generated by the commercial sector is believed to have increased more significantly than other sectors, rising by 31 percent between 1994 and 1998.

MSI believe that there are a number of factors that have affected the volume of solid controlled waste generated in the UK including the state of the UK economy, the size of the UK population, the number of households, manufacturing output, legislation and government strategy. Furthermore, MSI believe that society's attitude towards the generation of waste is changing towards waste recovery and waste minimisation.

MSI forecast that the volume of solid controlled waste arising from the construction & demolition, industrial, domestic and commercial sectors will decline in the medium term to 149 million tonnes by 2003. The diminishing volume of solid controlled waste in the UK is expected to reflect legislative and government measures for waste minimisation, and the general move towards the reduction of waste.

Direct Service Organisations are believed to have collected the majority of domestic waste in 1998. However, the proportion of waste collected by Direct Services Organisations declined marginally during the year reflecting the increase in the amount of domestic waste collected by private contractors and also further acquisitions of Direct Service Organisations by the private sector.

Private reclamation firms collected the largest proportion of waste from the industrial, construction & demolition and commercial sectors in 1998. Private contractors are estimated to have collected 39 percent of waste from the industrial, construction & demolition and commercial sectors in volume terms.

In 1998 some 118.7 million tonnes, representing 69 percent of the total volume of solid controlled waste generated during the year, was disposed of at landfill. This proportion of waste disposed of at landfill was marginally lower than the proportion, which was sent to landfill sites in 1997. The volume of waste disposed of at landfill sites is expected to decline further in the medium term as more waste is reclaimed and as waste is minimised. Furthermore, government and EU targets to reduce the amount of waste disposed at landfill will affect the sector. Indeed, the government has set a target for England and Wales to reduce the amount of solid controlled waste going to landfill sites to 60 percent by 2005.

The volume of waste being reclaimed in the UK is believed to have increased between 1994 and 1998. Indeed, it is believed that 17 percent of the total volume of solid controlled waste was reclaimed in 1998. The increase in the reclamation of waste has occurred as a result of companies diverting waste from landfill partly due to the Landfill Tax and the requirements of legislation such as the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 1997.
