Circular Economy in the U.S.: Business Opportunities for European Vendors of Recycling and Waste Conversion Technology

Simply for its sheer size, the American waste management market is a worthwhile target
for export-oriented manufacturers and know-how providers.

Yet, there's uncertainty with regards to the nation's willingness to invest in an infrastructure which still heavily relies on landfilling. The United States generate 254 million tons of municipal solidwaste (MSW) annually, of which 53% are disposed. Recently, President Trump's announced slash 30% of the Environmental Protection Agency's budget. What does this mean for the recycling business? This paper shows that state legislators are showing great resilience. Not only are they not rolling back their landfill diversion programs, they are moving forward even more vigorously. Landfills troubled with environmental and legal issues, along with an understanding that millions of dollars in valuable recyclables are wasted by dumping, have made communities pivot for good. At the same time, private initiative is growing stronger, making million-dollar investments into recycling infrastructure available.
