Environmental Services - Waste Management & Recycling

The waste and recycling industry continues to transform as circular economy principles, regulatory pressure, and technology-driven innovation reshape the landscape. Our latest sector report highlights how companies are investing in smarter infrastructure, advanced recovery methods, and sustainable models to meet the growing demands of consumers, regulators, and investors.

Consolidation remains a key strategy, with major players acquiring regional and specialty firms to expand their reach and integrate vertically. Notable transactions this quarter – such as GFL’s $5.6B divestiture of its Environmental Services division, Waste Connections’ strategic expansion in the NYC metro area, and Toyota Tsusho’s $1.3B acquisition of Radius Recycling – all underscore the sector’s momentum and attractiveness to both strategics and private equity.
