Market Growth Factors

Canada waste management market growth is being driven by stringent government regulations, rising urbanization, and increasing environmental concerns. Canadian companies are adopting sustainable waste management practices by investing in recycling, composting, and waste-to-energy technologies. Additionally, growing public awareness and knowledge about sustainability initiatives are further supporting market expansion, as both consumers and industries seek innovative and eco-friendly ways to manage and reduce waste across the country.

These growth opportunities are from processes in the circular economy: cutting down waste; reusing existing materials, and recycling (CRR). In 2019, the Canada-Wide Strategy and Action Plans on Zero Plastic Waste was created by focus on circular economy functions, such as remanufacturing and redesigning. These strategies are often implemented by businesses and municipalities for the diversion of waste from landfills, thereby creating programs that are both environmentally and economically sustainable through governmental policies and incentives.

IoT, data analytics, and automation collect, sort, and process waste. Canadian businesses showed 62.1% employment of advanced technologies in 2022. The utilities, professional services, and manufacturing sectors had the highest uptake rates, as improved waste-to-energy systems allow for greater operational efficiencies, improved environmental sustainability, and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to fulfill Canada's climate change commitments.
