Italy 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
Italy Waste Management Market size was valued at USD 8.79 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 11.44 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 2.80% from 2024 to 2030.
The growing environmental concerns are driving the expansion of the waste management market in Italy. Increased awareness of the detrimental effects of improper waste disposal on ecosystems and public health is elevating the demand for more efficient and sustainable waste management solutions. According to the Eurostat report 2023, Italy generated 174.9 million tonnes of waste and achieved a notable recycling rate of 83.2% in 2020, standing out within the European Union (EU). This heightened environmental consciousness is leading to greater adoption of recycling, composting, and waste-to-energy practices, fueling market expansion and innovation.
Furthermore, recent initiatives by key companies, including product launches and strategic collaborations, are also driving market growth. Leading firms are investing in advanced technologies and sustainable practices to enhance waste collection, processing, and recycling. For example, in June 2024, Crocco (SpA SB) partnered with Versalis to produce food packaging film using raw materials partly derived from recycled post-consumer plastics. This initiative targets large-scale production for the retail market, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally responsible waste management solutions and boosting market expansion and competitiveness.
However, the high costs of waste collection, transportation, and disposal services, combined with increasing regulatory demands for sustainable waste treatment and disposal, including recycling mandates and environmental compliance, are driving up operational expenses. Limited landfill capacity and the substantial investments needed for advanced waste treatment technologies further create barriers, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), restricting their ability to compete in the market.
On the contrary, the adoption of waste-to-energy technologies such as incineration, anaerobic digestion, and gasification offers substantial growth potential for the waste management market. These technologies convert waste into usable energy, helping reduce reliance on landfills while supporting sustainable energy generation. By turning waste into a valuable resource, waste-to-energy solutions enhance environmental sustainability and fuel market expansion. This forward-thinking approach aligns with global shifts toward circular economy practices and brings economic advantages by generating energy from waste, paving the way for promising growth in the waste recycling sector.
