Do you work or study in the fields of recycling and/or sustainable materials? Are you trying to commercialize a recycling- or sustainability-related innovation? Do you work with students who need foundational or background knowledge on materials recycling and sustainable materials? Maybe you’re looking for market data on these industries—market sizing, global market shares, revenue projections—to guide your decision-making and make you aware of new opportunities and developments? Or maybe you’re just fascinated by emerging technologies in sustainability and want to be the first to know about them?
Whether you’re just beginning your project or you’re in the thick of it, the research process can be a challenge, with plenty of twists, turns and hurdles. We want to make it easier and faster for you to find the information you need so that you can get to your next step. That’s why we put together a collection of our full-length and micro reports, formally known as Innovation Spotlights, in the recycling and sustainability space.
While the recycling and sustainability industries are large and encompass many submarkets, the reports in this list focus on materials—the markets recycling them and the markets making them more sustainable. Markets covered include e-waste recycling, water recycling, biodegradable packaging, plastics recycling sustainable concrete, battery recycling and more.
The goal of this blog is to support you in a few ways: by providing the exact intel you need, by alerting you to other markets you should explore or by serving as a resource that you can save and access at any time. Either way, reading this blog will help you progress in your research, or just sate your curiosity about what’s happening in the worlds of recycling and sustainability.
