Mexico Waste-to-Energy Technology Market Growth Factors

The surge in municipal solid waste (MSW) generation is a prime driver of the Mexico waste-to-energy technology market. Recent data shows Mexico produced over 118 million tons of MSW in 2023. The steady increase in waste is attributed to rapid urbanization, population growth, and changing consumption patterns, particularly in urban areas. For example, Mexico City alone generates more than 13,000 tons of waste daily, pressuring existing waste management infrastructure. This growing waste volume presents an opportunity to deploy WtE technologies that convert non-recyclable waste into energy, thus reducing landfill reliance and supporting energy demand.

Limited landfill capacity in key urban zones is accelerating the adoption of waste-to-energy solutions. Several Mexican cities, including the State of Mexico, Guadalajara, and Puebla, face landfill saturation or have closed existing sites due to overcapacity. This scarcity of dumping grounds compels municipalities to seek alternative waste management approaches. WtE technologies not only lessen landfill volumes by converting waste into usable energy but also help decrease the environmental footprint associated with waste disposal. Urban expansion that limits new landfill spaces makes WtE systems a practical waste management solution, further propelling market growth.

Government support is pivotal, with Mexico actively promoting renewable energy integration as part of its clean energy agenda. Under the Energy Transition Law and General Law on Climate Change, WtE technologies are recognized as renewable sources contributing to the national goal of generating 35% of electricity from clean energy by 2030. Policies facilitate this by offering financial incentives and fostering collaboration among federal and local agencies to ease project approvals and funding. These initiatives accelerate WtE market growth, encouraging private sector investments and reinforcing sustainable energy solutions.

Recent Developments & News

In 2025, Mexican startup Petgas developed a pyrolysis-based machine in Boca del Río that converts 1.5 tons of plastic waste weekly into 1,350 liters of fuel. This process is self-sustaining after startup and produces low-sulfur fuels that support local services through donated fuel. In 2023, Greenback Recycling Technologies launched Mexico's first chemical recycling plant in La Perseverancia. The plant processes post-consumer flexible plastics into pyrolysis oil, enabling the production of food-grade plastics and promoting the circular economy.
