Many businesses are exploring ways to incorporate sustainable materials, circular product designs, and biodegradable packaging to enable a closed-loop supply chain. With their focus on improving the overall efficiency of operations and reaching sustainability with minimum waste, the waste management industry is proliferating. The industry is expected to reach $667.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.1 percent.
One emerging trend is around the usage of microbial fuel cell technology. It can do three tasks simultaneously: wastewater treatment, clean power generation, and energy storage. The microbial bacteria produces charged electrons to generate power by digesting wastewater sludge. Keeping up with the influx of waste generation becomes easy, and the management process gets easier.
To put the spotlight on such key developments in the industry, Utilities Tech Outlook illustrates how businesses are leveraging responsible wastewater and waste management solutions. This edition also features thought leadership articles from subject matter experts. Some of the exclusive insights are authored by Tony Harrington, Director of Environment at Welsh Water; Benjamin Stanford, Associate Vice President at Hazen and Sawyer; and Jaša Žižek Fuis, Product Manager, Wastewater Treatment. They shed light on fully sustainable services to the UK’s water customers, brainstorming and prioritizing leadership goals to understand what key issues need to be solved in the sector, and having proper knowledge of all available wastewater treatment technologies.
