Commenting on the results, Eric Wigart, Chairman of AcuComm comments “The Rubbish RoundUp! annual survey reflects the seriousness with which waste management is now being taken around the world. Even emerging economies are leaping the technology divide, often moving in one-step from uncontrolled landfill to advanced WtE and Biomass solutions. The trends are that waste generation will continue to grow globally and the prospects for continuing plant investment remain strong.”
