Canada Waste Management Market by Waste Type (Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) or Household, Industrial, and Commercial) and by Waste Treatment (Composting, Incineration, Controlled Landfill, Uncontrolled Landfill, Sanitary Landfill, Open Dump, and Recycling)–

Canada Waste Management Market by Waste Type (Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) or Household, Industrial, and Commercial) and by Waste Treatment (Composting, Incineration, Controlled Landfill, Uncontrolled Landfill, Sanitary Landfill, Open Dump, and Recycling)– Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024 – 2030

Canada Waste Management Market size was valued at USD 37.02 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 64.22 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.10% from 2024 to 2030.

The rising waste generation in Canada is fueling the growth of the waste management market. As both residential and industrial waste volumes increase, the need for effective waste management solutions becomes more critical. According to the Government of Canada, plastic waste in the country reached 4 million tonnes in 2023, up from 3.5 million tonnes in 2018, a 14.3% increase over five years. This surge in waste generation is driving demand for advanced waste management technologies and services, resulting in market expansion and the development of more efficient waste handling practices.

In addition, government initiatives are playing a pivotal role in promoting sustainable waste management practices and supporting infrastructure development. For instance, in 2019, federal organizations led by Environment and Climate Change Canada introduced the Zero Plastic Waste Horizontal Initiative, aiming to keep plastics within the economy and out of the environment by 2030. Government efforts, including stricter regulations and financial support for waste management projects, foster innovation and efficiency in the industry, further boosting market growth.

However, Australia's vast and sparsely populated regions add complexity and expense to waste collection and management. The low population density and wide geographic distribution lead to greater logistical challenges and higher costs for transporting and processing waste. In areas where communities are spread across large distances, the infrastructure required for efficient waste management is either underdeveloped or entirely absent. This presents major challenges for waste collection companies, making it difficult to collect, transport, and process waste across these expansive regions.

On the other hand, the adoption of waste-to-energy technologies such as incineration, anaerobic digestion, and gasification presents a significant growth opportunity for the waste management market as these technologies convert waste materials into usable energy, reducing landfill dependency and contributing to sustainable energy generation. By transforming waste into a valuable resource, waste-to-energy solutions promote environmental sustainability and drive market expansion. This innovative approach aligns with global trends toward circular economy practices and offers economic benefits by generating energy from waste that creates a promising avenue for growth of the waste collection sector.
