Long before companies started looking at reducing their carbon footprint or going green, waste management companies have already been doing so as the original ESG players in the market.
With an increasing awareness of environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters, the zero-waste movement has grown, as more people try to cut back on their amount of waste. While the overall volume of waste can be reduced, waste cannot disappear completely — it is something communities will produce day in, day out, making the business of managing and treating it a resilient one.
As consumers and businesses become more conscious of the need to reduce waste in the name of sustainability, market players, both existing and new ones, have identified new opportunities by coming up with more efficient ways to operate such businesses.
