Sorted material recovery companies sort and process products which are then sold to wholesalers, with metal, plastics and paper being the most common materials handled. Highly volatile commodity prices dictate the prices at which recovered materials are sold, affecting both revenue and profit. Business activity and waste generated by households also influence demand for material recovery companies. Over the five years through 2023, sorted material recovery revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 0.5% to €433.5 million, including forecast drop of 9.6% in the current year, when the industry's average margin is estimated at 12.7%.
