Source reduction and pollution prevention strategies have decreased the
absolute volume of hazardous wastes generated during the past decade.
A large volume of hazardous wastes, however, still exists at industrial sites
and other facilities. The continual generation of industrial wastes, requires
safe and cost-effective transportation, handling, storage, processing,
treatment, and disposal.
In this comprehensive report, diverse segments such as recycling and
recovery, treatment and disposal are analyzed in detail, as are technology
developments, market conditions and opportunities and five-year forecasts. The
role of biotechnology and other new treatment and disposal technologies are
reviewed in this comprehensive report.
This BCC study analyzes the current North America market in detail and
identifies the most promising market opportunities for the next five years.
Western European and Japanese markets are covered as well. In light of recent
world events, special emphasis is also placed on the role of site and logistical
security and potential new requirements that will emerge, fostering new
investment.
