Waste management includes all types of waste including solid, liquid, or gas. Waste management deals with municipal, industrial, and hazardous waste. Municipal waste generally refers to residential waste and nonhazardous waste generated in towns and cities. The global waste management market is segmented on the basis of type, service, and region. On the basis of type, the market is divided into municipal waste, industrial waste, and hazardous waste. On the basis of services, it is classified into collection services and disposable services. The collection services segment is sub segmented into collection & transportation, storage & handling, and sorting. The disposable services segment is further segregated into landfills, recycling, compositing & anaerobic digestion, and others.

The shifting focus on the deployment of renewable power infrastructure has resulted in the widespread installation of solar power plants globally. Although solar power generation is a sustainable model of power production, solar panels after the end of their lifecycle need to be recycled. On average, the life span of a solar panel is about 20-30 years. Solar panels contain toxic substances that can be harmful to the environment, if disposed of in landfills, thus, defeating the purpose of making solar energy sustainable. Therefore, the recycling of used solar panels is necessary. The cumulative solar power generation stood at 584.6 TWh, at the end of 2018. Major countries witnessed widespread adoption of solar panels, as a result of the declining cost and increased focus on the usage of clean energy. With the increasing installation of solar panels and growing environmental concerns, the market studied is expected to augment during the forecast period.

According to Composites UK, the usage of composites is growing and the global market for composite products is expected to reach USD 95 billion, globally, by 2020. Increasing need for lighter weight and durable products is increasing the penetration of composites in major industries, such as aerospace, transportation, construction, and wind energy in the global market. However, around 40% of the total production of composites ends up being wasted. They are either dumped as scrap or can be found as defective parts. Apart from the waste generated from production, much of the waste is also generated from end-of-life usage of products. According to various industrial sources, around 12,000 commercial aircraft are due to reach the end of their useful life in the next two decades, and approximately six million cars are scrapped each year, globally. Moreover, in the wind turbine industry, approximately 20% of the composite fabrics used in the manufacture of rotor blades are generally discarded during the production process. Such developments are expected to increase the amount of composite waste generated by these industries significantly.

自《京都议定书》后，欧盟 加紧落实碳减排问题， 2003 年，欧洲开始批准发展和使用生物燃料，根据 欧盟先后出台《可再生能源指令》及修改版，要求 2020 年及 2030 年可再 生能源消费比例分别达到 27%和 32%，其中可再生燃料在运输部门的占比 需达到 10%和 14%，生物柴油作为可再生能源逐步获得推广使用。
