Hazardous waste is often termed as the waste which is toxic, infectious or radioactive. These wastes are known to be harmful to the environment which can lead to injuries or fatal diseases to humans and animals. Hazardous waste is generated by end-use industries, organizations, hospitals, etc. Therefore, hazardous waste is segmented into industrial and manufacturing waste, infectious & pathological waste, pharmaceutical waste, sharps and others. Among the above mentioned wastes, industrial and manufacturing waste accounted for larger share of the market in 2016. Industrial waste is considered to be the most harmful waste as the left out stuff majorly consist of useless materials generated during the manufacturing processes. Some of the wastes generated during manufacturing processes consist of sand paper, metals, paints, solvents and radioactive materials. Solvent and chemicals form the major part of industrial and manufacturing waste. These wastes can be fatal to the environment, humans and animals. Hence, the governments globally have set some parameters and have imposed regulations on the industries to minimize the industrial and manufacturing waste. The second most fatal waste is the one generated in the hospitals known as infectious and pathological waste. This waste is also equally harmful as it may consist of infectious agent, radioactive agent or genotoxic or cytotoxic chemical composition. Hence, such types of hazardous waste have to be properly treated to avoid diseases and fatal injuries in the environment. Pharmaceutical waste and sharps have also contributed to be one among the hazardous waste materials worldwide and is expected to increase in the near future. These wastes altogether have led to increase in demand for hazardous waste material management market.
Treatment Sites Segmentation Analysis
Environment Protection Agency (EPA) is basically known as the hazardous waste generator in any organization, by site, whose act process hazardous waste. The two organizations that regulate the generation and transportation of hazardous waste include Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation. Off-site accounted for larger share of hazardous waste material management service in 2016. It is a popular waste management technique which is preferred by commercial entities, households, and industries. In this system, the waste if sent to remote place where it is treated and disposed. It doesn’t require high cost and hence is preferred on a large scale. Waste generated from the industries account for large scale of hazardous waste materials. Hence, industrial organizations are the chief adpters of onsite waste treatment market as they require specialized treatment facility. Pharmaceutical and chemical industries are among the major consumers of onsite hazardous waste materials management services. On-site waste management is less prevalent in the developing economies such as Asia Pacific due to high cost associated with collection, transportation and treatment of hazardous waste materials. However, the market is witnessing increase in entry of new players in the market since few years and is anticipated to experience steady growth during the forecast period from 2015 to 2023.
Treatment Types Segmentation Analysis
The hazardous waste material market is segmented on the basis of treatment types into incineration, autoclaving and chemical treatment market. Among the above stated treatment types, incineration accounted for major share of global hazardous waste materials market in 2016. It accounted for more than 45% of the market share. It is a treatment process which includes combustion of organic substances that are present in the waste materials that are been treated. High amount of hazardous waste materials released by pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and healthcare companies has led to high demand for incineration treatment in the market. Chemical treatment market accounted to be the second largest market for treatment type of hazardous waste materials market in 2016. Chemical treatment involves methods which include ion exchange, oxidation and reduction, precipitation and neutralization. Large amount of hazardous waste coming from the end-user industries is treated with chemicals to avoid pollution. Hence, high demand is poised for chemical treatment in hazardous waste materials management system and is expected to increase in the near future. Other treatment methods such as autoclaving have also acquired large market, especially in the healthcare sector.
