Regulations, public concern and increased industrial commitment to a clean environment have created a multibillion-dollar business in waste
treatment. The imperative is simple: process less waste and clean up the messes of the past. But that economic driving force has sparked the
development of a growing market for innovative solutions to waste handling. Increasingly, technological advances are responding to the demand. In
fact, the proliferation of advanced treatment methods, products and processes adds up to new opportunities, as well as new challenges.
The market
for waste treatment is estimated at nearly 400 billion in 2002. Forecast to grow at an average annual growth rate of 2.2% over the next five years,
this market is likely to reach $445.6 billion by 2007. The forecast includes annual sales of equipment and services related to water treatment, air
pollution, solid and hazardous waste, recycling, and remediation.
